I think the last time I went through a car wash was the day of the prom back in April. It was the "laserwash" in Smithfield. It did a good job, but I do a heck of a lot better with my rag and bucket free spray wash. They're just too expensive for me. They salted the main roads and the bridges the other day, so I wash the Blazer Saturday and began using a glaze thats supposed to keep water from freezing on the car. Now its supposed to be 78 degrees outside today thru the end of the week.

I don't go to those type car washes any longer. I just use the 'laser' wash type touchless car washes. They work good enough to rinse the salt off of everything and won't damage anything.
Granted my grill was old at the time BUT, I did a touchless carwash( still do them as well) and it blew the grill right off the front of a 78 mailibu, all 6 screws and all including center support bracket. They will damage like any other touch wash will it just doesnt leave scratches in the paint.
I forgot to add in my first post to buff and wax the car with a good layering system of wax before the salt hits and right after in the spring. its the best way to remove all trace elements of salt while protecting your paint too.

I take mine to Mike's Carwash and never had a problem one. And it does a great job on it.

im glad somebody is got a clean blazer, the first thing people say to me when i see them is how nasty it is because they know how i keep it clean, but i mean really, do they think i haven't noticed it myself?

Havn't pulled mine out of the garage in about 1 1/2 months, so it's still pretty clean, just a little dusty.

I'm lazy, my oldest son (15) is working at a hand car wash to pay for repairs to his truck (found a '93 s10 4x4 looked like new inside and out but no engine for $300 I bought it, he has to fix it out of his own pocket) but anyways I go to the hand wash he works at and abuse his free employee wash twice a week get my blazer cleaned inside and out and towel dried for free they aren't as picky as I am but when its winter in ohio it works to keep my baby clean and me from freezing to do it myself.
