a real man washes his own car

x2

then use a quick detail spray after to get any spots or places u missed.

takes me about 2 hours to clean the whole car.

I work at Ford, and we wash everything you can think of through our wash. Everything from Bentley to Kia. And everything is fine.

ORIGINAL: stang8689

Shut your door with you inside and look for daylight, you might have to roll window down, grab bottom of frame, then bend the top in.

i would use the dolar bill trick. even if you dont see daylight you might not have a tight seal. shut a dollar bill in the door and see if you have a little drag when trying to pull it out. if there is no drag then you need some adjustment like what stang8689 said.

u dnt see how the carwash ****ed my paint up? u also dnt see any pics of my pass side rocker either... paint is all chipping off.... it started because i took it thru a carwash... came out the other end an noticed a chunk of paint peeled off... now because of that small spot... and a minor scrape of the curb(thanks to some ****ing ******) that rocker... and only that rocker looks like ****.

+1 on handwashing, you can get a much better job done that any car wash will give you. And you KNOW its clean, from top to bottom. A car wash doesnt clean wheel wells very well, or rims for that matter.
