i jus got a fresh paint job about a week and a half ago, itsnighawk black pearl with a body kit, not to low tho, is their any reason on why i should not have my car go thru a carwash, it needs a wash and although ive beeen doing it myself, it still needs a good professionalwash once in awhile

 

a "professional" doesn't use a car wash, a "professional" hand washes it with care.

 

well ok, i guess im not a "professional" at washing cars, is their any reason why i shouldnt go into a carwash as far as harming my paint goes ?

 

it was a joke, and just let the paint cure a little longer than a week before you take it to one. and it really depends on which car wash you go in, some are high pressure, and some have shammies (sp?) which could possibly chip your car if something were to happen.

 

i was always told after you paint a car not to wash it for a month to let it cure all the way.. if you wash it yur takingthe chance of scratching the paint.. but thats just what i been told

 

ya i'd wait a few weeks for the paint to cure and be worry free. after that, a drive-thru carwash shouldnt hurt it so long as the pressure washers they use arnt way to powerful(which they really shouldnt be anyways). tho, if u can wash and wax it urself, that'd be alot better.

 

why would you want to take your car to a car wash? have some pride and do it yourself!! you'll appreciate it more! stop being lazy! hahah jk

I don't mind washing it myself, I've done it plenty of times, but for some reason, it doesn't get 100 percent clean like I want it
