Since I was tired of getting a crappy car wash at the Lowell crappy car wash, I decided to try the other automatic car wash.

The other car wash is a “touchless” wash which relies strictly on water pressure to wash your car.  I pulled up to one of the wash bays, inserted my money and selected the basic car wash.  And, when instructed to, I pulled my car into the wash bay and waited for the wash to start.  The first thing that it did was to cover my entire car in soap, twice.  Then, it rinsed my car twice and told to please exit.

What!!??  That wash took less than a minute.   And, I wouldn’t have minded the quick wash if it had actually washed my car but it didn’t.  In fact, I had to run my windshield wipers just to get my windshield clean.   It is “touchless” alright as it didn’t seem to touch the dirt on my car.

Unlike the super crappy car wash, at least the crappy car wash took off most of the dirt.  I will just have to make a point of going into Grand Rapids from now on.
