Is it better to go through a touchless wash or a soft touch wash? My local drive thru carwash has both. Been going through the touchless but it doesn’t do the best job of washing it.I usually use the coin op powerwasher one but need to clean the salt off the underbody
>>28750420>take customized car with swapped engine, aftermarket bellhousing+manual trans swap to mechanic>they take custom trans setup out to replace clutch>mechanics quit>shop owner can't find new mechanics who aren't brown>yeah ok that's kind of annoying but I don't want some incompetent brown retard trying to re-assemble my frankenstein clutch setup.>it's been in the shop for almost 2 years now. I guess the silver lining here is that it's free indoors storage and that the shop owner seems to have standards. On the other hand it's been 2 years and there are probably consumer protection laws against this kind of thing. What's the correct course of action here? I'd like to get my car back but I also don't want to fuck this shop owner he's in a difficult position.
>>28750420People say touch washes degrade your clearcoat more than touchless but I think if you worry about this stuff you are touched in the head.
>>28750447if you want to be civil, your best bet is probably to contact the owner and arrange for it to be shipped somewhere else, whether to another shop or your driveway/garage. it will probably be very expensive and time consuming to unfuck the mess that the quitting mechanic made. i highly doubt he is going to find anyone to put it back together adequatelyif you don’t want to be civil, start talking to a lawyer that works in consumer protections. you probably signed a contract 2 years ago agreeing to the work that needs to be done, it should be an easy case, but might ruin your relationship with this guyim kinda surprised he hasn’t asked you to get rid of it to this point. you guys must be on good terms
>>28750465Well it's actually a tire shop. I've been getting tires there for what? 20 years now? But whenever I went there to get tires I noticed there were 1950's chevy trucks and mazda rx3s, rx4s and rx7's getting mechanical work done. My car had some gremlins that other mechanics had been unable to fix and nobody wanted to touch the obscure aftermarket ECU.Through sheer luck the mechanics at this tire shop were familiar with this obscure ECU (its apparently more popular in the rotary scene) and were keen to tackle the other electrical gremlins. They fixed the electrical issues and the ecu dramas but quit and left the aftermarket clutch/trans/diff in pieces.>im kinda surprised he hasn’t asked you to get rid of it to this pointHow could he possibly do that? The ball is kinda in his court right?
>>28750449>>28750420Bro no touchless wash ever degraded my car paint.Those touch was do all the time. They scratch it, they remove big chuncks of paint layer, etc.I now go to self car wash, touchless, unless I wanna scrub somewhere like the wheels
>visited friends today>They live on a hill and their driveway has a lip for the gutter>Pull out of their driveway when I leave>Scrape my front splitter on the gutterI know nobody is going to see a scraped up front splitter but goddamn do I hate that noise I was even planning on lowering my car a bit but if that's going to happen more if I do, I'm reconsidering it
I'm new to snow, salt, and winter climates.How often should I was my car in the winter? how often? shit is so annoying with all the salt and mud from slush
