It's touching that you care so much about another man's ride though.

I just don't know why you're wasting so much time trying to tear down something that was meant to just be a fun video, not a letter to society about how to wash a car.

That said, cool video Ryan. Thanks for sharing. By the way your car looks amazing brother.

The video and music is cool.
No auto car washes for me. Spent 2 days polishing out scratches on my CCW wheels on my Vette the one time I tried it.

Well, I guess I am going to get blasted for using a leaf-blower to dry off my car. Yes, a leaf-blower. Nothing powerful mind you, but you would be amazed at how well it works.

Just make sure it's clear of any debris our you will end up with bits of yard gunk all over your car.

Hello James, I too use a leaf-blower at times on my Convertible. Works great to blow dust, etc off. My post on here is on page 2 since I've ran my Convertible thru a car wash and had to put my 2 cent.

Good job on the video. Michael in Virginia

I never thought about using a leaf blower... I should totally try that!

Give it a try. The first time I saw it done was a guy down the street using it on his black BMW. He loves that car! Saw him using a leaf blower to dry off the wheels and so on.

So I gave it a try. Made sure it was clean and heck yes, it works great! Blows all the water from every little place that is hard to dry with a towel.

Cool vid Ryan! Guess I shouldn't be washing my ride with 80 grit sandpaper anymore huh? Lol!

mikey8 · 10-19-2012, 09:02 PM

Apparently I'm the only one to have experienced this phenomena. Amazing

I've experienced it too. Mine has seen a car wash, and will again. And yeah, I've got some swirls from wiping it down after, but no one has ever said, "OMG, look at all the swirls!" What they do say is, "Love how that Carbon Flash Metallic looks in the sun!"

Cool vid bro!

I've never sent my vehicles through an automatic car wash but I'd definitely use this touchless setup if I did. I'm surprised at how efficient and thorough it is. I just prefer hand washing my cars to ensure everything (wheels, rockers, crevices, etc) is clean. You can call it OCD but I see it as a hobby.
