Nothin Beats A Good Hand Job...
To clarify...for those of you whose minds may be somewhere else. Nothing beats washing my bug in the drive way. Doing it by hand lets me know of every inperfection that may come along. That way if I see a scratch I will have an idea of when if hapened. Don't have any as of yet (knock on wood). Also there are so many curves and crannies it really needs to have it wiped down as to not to miss anything. Just my opinion.

I agree! That way, when you take it to the dealer you KNOW they scratched it.
 I have a new scratch on Zoomers pass side front fender. DANG ROCKS.  And it is rather hard to get all the wax out of the crannies and such. I find new OLD wax every time I wash... *grumble*

Well! You got my attention! I agree though. I will only hand wash my car.

If I lay in your driveway, can I have a hand job?

I used to only give my CRX hand jobs. Now she's falling apart from the bottom up. Now in the winter my NB gets done the mechanical way. Summers are still hand jobs. I use almost any liquid soap with a sheepskin mitt.
