Default Carwash

Someone told me not to use the soap brush at the car wash to clean my car because it scratches the car, is this true?

It can be true yes. If I really need to use the brush, I typically just spray it really really well and make sure its cleaned out nicely

yea but if your paint is a little older, dont hold the spray too close to your car, because i did that, a nd it actually chipped my paint. nothing too big but it sucked

Exactly... DIY in the driveway at home, it always turns out much better that way.

Good pic Forty04, that is clean, its the only thing you get why you DIY, plus im sure that pretty girl (your civic)likes it when you rub on her a bit.
