Which car wash....
So I am in college and my car has been getting dumped on with snow in NH. I am planning to wash it after all of it is gone and all the dirt crap is left on my car. There are only two options of washing my car here so, not much I can do.
1) Mobile car wash that I drive/stop slowly through, nothing touching the car, dry through like a hot air blower thing that i drive through
OR
2) Drive in carwash where the guys come out after it and dry it w/ their things and what not
Which is better in my predicament?

#1 ...I occasionally go through the one up the street---TOUCHLESS...they are good to clean underneath.....although I don't even drive mine in the rain.

Ive been to the touchless once or twice, but the water is being sprayed at such a high speed that im afraid it will leak in! So i dont go there much, the water used to poor in when i used to go thru the touchless in my old iroc!

I went through touchless once, and had water blown in past the t-top seals and ended up with a shorted out turn signal light b/c the water found a crack in my turn signal housing.

if you are going to use a wash, self serve, touchless or full service, make sure you use a well maintained one. if it is not well maintained, even the touchless and self serve can cause you issues.
