    That's one of the craziest I heard so far when it comes to the coin-op wash bays LOL. What I wonder if it's such of a healthy thing to clean those grill grates in a coin-op wash bay. But maybe not so much of a problem if you heated them up very thoroughly before use it again. Man that grease in the wash brushes is not easly going away. Have destroyed some brushes when getting the grease lube that's used in the cranes on tractors and stuff. Have used a lot of different potent degreasers with 1 brush in particualar and it's not going off LOL. Animal fat and such can be very hard to desolve and is mostly the aggitations that fix it.

    Get me to thinking on getting afterwards when has cleaned up his bbq equipment and you have not seen it. Start to use the brush and cleaning. And notice the cool smell they have in their cleaners that smells like BBQ LOL. Then wondering why my car gets dirtier when I wash it LOL. Yeah I don't ever use the brushes in those coin-op wash bays. If though the combined PW with brush attachement would fit in the vehicals wheel wells I would use it or the parts I reach on the undercarriage. Which I think that has already done before or they are just so worn downed so they should have been replaced. So would not feeling bad about it. I have looked in to the price of such a wand from Kärcher and they are very expensive with combined PW nozzle tip and the brush that you move back and forth. As a not a business I would get it for a little over $700 for just the spray gun handle with the wand this is. When new though they are quite high quality and could be of use on like semi-trucks and tractors and such. Would not use it on the car paints though but those with the industrial paint on them.

    Re: Winter maintenance

    So couldnt wash my ride for a three weeks (holidays, family, lazy) so did a new to me heavier maintenance clean up.

    IK foam 12 pro
    BIlt Hamber auto foam
    IK foam 1.5
    P&S Brake Buster

    So I drive to closest touchless/wash bay spray down with BH AF with the IK 12 pro over the entire car. I BB the front wheels with IKF 1.5, agitate with detail brush then pressure rinse whole car.

    I then BB rear wheels and agitate then drive through touchless wash. I like the one around me becaase for $8 i can get a basic wash that doesnt use the rainbow soap. $10 total for second rinse and spotless rinse.

    Its less than 5 mins from home so ill drive home to finish.

    Once home

    IK multi pro 2
    Mckee’s n914
    Ammo aerator
    Ammo Frothe
    Ammo Hydrate.

    I presoak with the Multi pro and n914 because it was raining other wiseci would skip this step as the touchless does an 85% job. I figure if their aby particulates in the rain the n914 would help encapsulate. For sure over kill but whatever.

    I then use Frothe with Ammo aerator. Frothe for me is the best way other than a bucket wash to clean your car 1000% worth the premium price.

    Follow up with hydrate and a PFM to dry then N914 for the wheels to get them spotless. Will be raining all week but had to get the crud off and will be coating wheels with Polish Angel Supersport tomorrow
