Me too, but I swear my fuel door will open if I pick my nose!!! Sensitive little thang!!!

 

Why would you take a car through a car wash in the first place? They do a lousy job and in general are not very good for your car.

 

We have a touchless "laser wash" that I use in the winter. It not only does an excellent job, its only $5. I only have to dry off a few areas that the blowers don't get very well.


I have never seen anything that says or even suggests that GM does not recommend car washes. In some circumstances, like when the donut spare is on, yes. But not in general. Its true though that its better to wash by hand. I prefer to do so myself, and I only use warm water, no soap. But a car wash, especially a touchless, won't hurt the car one bit. The potential damage from the harsh soaps of a car wash is not like it was 20 years ago. The clear coat is extremely tough and resiliant. The paint on my 10 year old Cadillic, other than having a couple of dings and scratches, looks like new. Using a good quality wax, and an annual clay job, helps a lot.

 

ummm err ahhhh suggestion

Don't Pick your Nose !!!

I wish they would have just installed an inside release like 99% of all the other new cars on the road today. Not only will prevent this, but prevent other from easily opening your gas cap.......

 

I've had the inside releases on a few cars. Very nice until it breaks. I prefer not to have the inside release. But I realize this is just personal preference.

 

How do you break the inside release? Thousands of vehicles in my fleet and I can't remember that happening once. Now breaking the door off..., several times.
