Scratched Rims in car wash

[Sam The Plumber]

My gf's malibu had a huge scratch on the rim. i figured she hit something until i noticed a scratch on my camaro's rim after i left the wash in the same spot as her malibu. Im done with the wash. its a tough give up because the wash i go to only charges 20 a month for unlimited washes..

100% agree!
If you value your cars at all, never put it through the abuse of an automatic car wash. The touch free works ok. But the other ones with the flappers just sling dirt all over your paint and scratch the hell out of it.

Don't abuse your baby!!!!! Stay away from the PS3 for a few hours and take some pride in washin your wheels!
