I'm always skeptical about changing from my good old methods to a modern subscription system type deal, feels like I'm getting scammazed...

You can cancel anytime.
If they "forget" to cancel just threaten to contact Pat Foran.
Guaranteed they fold faster than a deck chair

I think it's a pretty good deal considering our climate. I have a few issues with car wash stations. Preferable touchless for me always wins me over. Also the track system used to lock in your rim and tires has the potential of rim damage when you're first trying to align yourself. Thanks for details. I may check it out. I always feel better in a clean car. Never gets old.

Quick question is there always someone there that steers you onto the tracks?

Every time I've gone in there's always been an attendant.
They have to be there to check your membership

Its worth it until you see the fucking line ups, possibly waiting an hour.

I use their West Mall location, and there were about 20 cars ahead of me yesterday.
Line took exactly 12 minutes, 11 seconds and 31 microseconds.
For me thats still worth it

Wash mine twice a year. Lol

I typically only wash my car once or twice per month in the winter but in the summer I like to do weekly if possible. So this deal may be worth it come April/May. Never used them before but two of their locations are very convenient for me.

I wash and wax mine in the summer once a week… or twice depending on weather or dirt. Always on an overcast day.
Pretty much stick to Chemical Guys products.

In the winter… I’m bad. Might go to the coin-wash places just to get the salt and road grime off. Drying it is THE MOST important step because there’s always that salt dust getting stirred up and sticks to everything wet…

High pressure wash is not good for your clear coat. And the big floppy brushes and mops in the drive thru washes are constantly collecting particles and dirt from every car that goes through. Plus the soap is industrial strength cleaner… Unless you’re leasing… best to control what you can.

I also like Denny’s in Mississauga (fooled me the first time!! Looking for a Grand Slam breakfast)… and wash and dry, vacuum and wipe down inside, wheel treatment… all for like $50

Yeah. I enjoy driving when there is hard rain. Gets most of the underground parking dust off.

Thats a catch 22, because leaving all that road salt on your car for long periods of time is also not good for your clear coat

I’ve heard about the All-You-Can-Eat car washes, but there are some downsides. The high-pressure washes can be harsh on your car’s finish. They often use recycled water, which may still contain dirt and salt. Plus, you have to go there and wait in line. Washing your car too often isn’t ideal either. When I bought my car, the dealer specifically advised against frequent washes. Frequent washes dull the finish of the car.

When you buy a new car, the dealer will try to sell you all kinds of extras. I always refuse at first, and that’s when they start bargaining. Never pay for the seat protector, You can get a can of leather guard for $20 and apply it yourself. I also declined the glass and parts etching, but the dealer claimed my insurance company would cover it. In the end, I believe the dealer lowered the price, the insurance company paid a reduced rate, and I ended up paying $100 for the markings. ( plus I get a discount from the insurance company for having the markings ) As for rustproofing, I do it myself because I don’t plan to keep the car long enough for rust to be an issue. Instead, I handle it myself with a $20 can of Rust Check from Canadian Tire, just spray it into the drain holes at the bottom of the doors.

The best way to protect your car’s finish is with a Ceramic Graphene coating. The dealership initially wanted over $500 for the application. I told them I could get a regular ceramic coating done elsewhere for $200. In the end, they applied the Ceramic Graphene coating for the same $200, saying it was because I was a good customer and they liked me. With this coating, dirt easily slides off, and even a light rain or snowfall is enough to wash away dust, leaving a glossy, spotless finish.
I have the regular ceramic coating on my other car because the graphene ceramic was not available at the time. Both are good, but the graphene ceramic is superior.

Pay $365 for a year of every day washes is like going to a cheapy SP that offers a low price 3 holes quick service. There are other guys using the same service and there may be a delay even with three holes. You get what you pay for. Is it not better to have ceramic /ceramic graphene coating for $200 one time charge and have a sparkling clean car all the time.

Touch less use super high pressure water which can cause damage + a high PH soap that can damage clear coat or paint over time if used often. The good brush places they have nozzles on the brushes rinsing them constantly. But if you go in after someone who's vehicle was a disaster, yes dirt & sand still in the brushes. Winter time, I just use hose to rinse off or a dry thru that also sprays the under carriage. Like earlier mentioned, a good hard spring rain driving is a great way to remove under carriage grime. Most of the year is a hand wash in my driveway on the shade. Never in direct sun or on a hot vehicle.
For those living in the country on gravel roads or going to cottage on long gravel roads regularly, get the wet mud off the under carriage regularly to help prevent premature rust or wear

Touchless car washes don’t use brushes or cloths to scrub your car, so they rely on strong chemicals to remove dirt. These soaps are often very acidic or alkaline to make up for the lack of scrubbing. Over time, these harsh cleaners can strip off protective wax, fade your car’s paint, and even cause oxidation. If used too often, they may damage the clear coat, making your car more vulnerable to the elements.

To save water and meet environmental rules, many touchless car washes reuse and filter water. However, these filters don’t always remove all dirt, oil, and other debris. Tiny particles left in the water can be sprayed onto your car at high pressure, causing small scratches in the clear coat. This can dull the shine and make the paint wear out faster.

Trivia : Stafford Repp who played Chief O'Hara on Batman made his fortune in car washes when Batman was cancelled.
