Re: how do coin op self service car washes work?
The do it yourself carwashes run on quarters and usually have a change machine(sometimes working sometimes not) and to get the best results takes about 10 bucks at most. But they have wheel and tire cleaner, soap, hot wax, engine degreaser, high and low pressure rinses, foam brush, some of the newer ones have a clear coat protectant as well. They work pretty well but if you have a real good (or expensive) paint job it's not worth it as you will not get off the dirt using only the pressure sprayer and if you use the brush then most of the time it will put a few little scratches on it(because other people have used that same brush to wash off their 4wd trucks after mudding and get the mud and rocks in it). For me only time I use the car washes is in the winter to spray the salt off my vehicle other than that I get in the backyard and do it myself so I know there won't be any problem with scratches in the paint.
