The first time I used this car wash I was impressed. I personally have not found hand spray car washes in the northland that has the features I like that are working. The pre-soak wash is great, using warm water and a lot of soap, the prewash did an excellent job of cutting through the dirt. I used the heavy wash to spray down truck with more pressure and I sprayed off my engine. After using the rinse and spot free rinse I was surprised to see that no extra wiping was required to get the shine. Normally I've had to use a wash mitt to get off the grit and grime. I don't see too many manual car washes these days, but I have to say this one does it well and the cost to clean and sweep was around $8.00. I have a 2012 Black Silverado and those who own a black vehicle know just how hard it is to get clean, especially after a rain. I did drive about a mile on the highway to get rid of the excess water; then I stopped and detailed to a shear shine. Highly recommend
