oh That's all that is?

I do this wash when I'm lazy.

I usually do touchless washes or I wash myself.

They remove a majority of the water but its not perfect. I always take one or two microfiber towels with me to remove the leftover spots.

It'll be in the upper 40's in this part of the NorthEast tomorrow so I'll be washing my car by hand

I might do the same too. Hand wash is the best.

Does that laser car wash really get the car clean, its almost like just using a power washer to spray down the car. I bet it wouldnt work well if the car is really dirty.

I was told even pressure wash won't get your car clean if it's really dirty.

Yes it does.

I tested out a laser wash with a really dirty RX, just covered in dirt/etc from the rain and road .... came out nice and shiny
