For those of you that take a good car to a car wash, you deserve what you get. I won't even let the dealer wash my car when they service it. Don't want them messing up the paint for me.
Leo would resent this statement!

Thanks for the tip, I have a lot of bugs as well and can never get all of them off for some reason!

I am going to be detailing here in a few weeks, I don't do it as often as I should
