car wash change

Ever since I arrived in MN (1999) I've been using the touchless automatic car wash at Bobby and Steve's Auto World during the winters. Today I made my first visit of the 07-08 winter, and discovered that the touchless system was removed! While the pads on the new system looked soft, they made a lot of noise on contact. The car came out cleaner than usual, but there was at least one new scratch I hadn't seen before, so I might have to find a new place to take the car....

A friend of mine wanted to get her car washed over the weekend but has a cracked driver's-side rearview mirror she was worried about. So we tried to fashion some sort of protective device out of a styrofoam holiday plate, plastic bag, and some yarn. Well, those heavy-duty spinning brushes made short work of that. Luckily, her mirror survived, but that was the most tense carwash experience I've ever been through!
