Hi,
Not a hugely technical question......

I've not long had my silver 2009 MY08 STi WRX hatchback (loving it by the way!) and it needs a wash.

Its 100% baltic outside, so I thought about taking it to one of those IMO/ARC semi automatic car washes. Then I looked at the car and decided the rear wiper or spoiler could get damaged.

Has anyone tried such a car wash, with a hatchback with the spolier???
Any feedback on paint work welcome too.

I'm a bit reluctant to leave it with a "supermarket" car wash as I'll probably never see it again!!!

Any advice greatfully received.
Thanks

 

Regardless of rear spoiler, I would never take a car of mine to one of them auto carwashes. I don't trust me, and on such a new car would be a shame to ruin the paintwork with some shabby giant spinning brush.

Surely there must be a normal hand carwash in your area? And the hand car wash at my local tescos is really good. But I don't leave it with them,I just wait.

 

Hand Carwash will be much better option for you,i have heard horror stories about the Auto Car Wash,due this only Hand Car Wash....

Thanks folks.
I'll have a look round for a hand car wash where I get to stop with the car.

In the meantime I'd best break out the meguirs and 10 extra thick coats!!
Cheers for the advice.

You have been warned,better off paying your local poles a fiver for a hand job
