Another Car Wash Horror Story (self inflicted)

[1COOLH3]

I normally wash and dry my black H3 by hand but the other day I stopped at a self serve car wash on my way to work to spray off some mud. I used the "Pre-Soak" setting, sprayed and rinsed and then went to work. I figured most off the water would blow off by driving and I didnt want to towell dry it because it wasn't really clean enough for that.
When I came out for lunch my baby looked terrible! It had spots and streaks all over it and I spent hours cleaning it up. The spots on the glass were a bitch to get off and I'm going to have to use a cleaner wax to get the spots of the paint. I had to use a chorme cleaner on the grille. The worse part is all the rubber trim around the windows has discolored spots that I can't remove. I used Armor All on them and they look better but still are spotted.

So the lesson is:

1) Dont be lazy and do a half-ass wash job.

2) Always towell dry to avoid spots.

3) NEVER EVER use Pre-Soak spray- it's too harsh.
