It's a normal occurrence and a great money maker for schools and groups to make a quick buck by offering a car wash -- and it seems as if there are always lines of people at these events too. However, MB Motorsports fans should know that you may be donating to a great cause but might be better off just giving the group the few dollars and drive away which could save your cars finish.
If there is any place to get scratches and swirl marks it would be one of these road-side car washes -- and especially with a black Honda -- I simply say No Thanks! How many times do you think those sponges have hit the ground or picked up dirt from other cars which will end up leaving your finish looking like a warzone.
I remember when I was in high-school I took part in a car wash and saw someone with a sponge that was on the ground with a small stone in it that left a nice sized scratch in the hood. From that day on -- I will donate the money to the cause but won't let them touch my car. Of course, the choice is yours but I like my mirror-like finish and work hard to maintain it.
Have you had a bad experience with one of these fundraiser -- share your story with MB Motorsports!
