Great video, thanks now I know how to do it without scratching my truck.Thanks

[ChargerMatt]

Is it just me or is there no audio? I heard the music playing in the intro but no talking!

 

Maybe it's because I'm on my work computer?

[Canadiantowman]

must be your computer, I hear him talking.

Works for me.

[ChargerMatt]

Ahhh what the crap, and I had 20 minutes left on my lunch too!

[07RS4]

Great job guys! Excellent video!

[Kingsford]

Sure wish we had a nice car wash like that around here... I got kicked out of one 2 weeks ago for hand washing. The place had 8 bays and I was the only one there feeding the machines so I said F it and left as quick as I could.

[Team Adam's]

Great video. Winter is here, like it or not!

[BlueGenCoupe]

Awesome video...Really enjoyed this one!

 

You guys just gave me inspiration to wash my car this winter!!!

Adam is only coming out of the left channel...music is coming out of both... you probably only have a right channel working

Great tutorial! This will come useful if I'm stationed somewhere up north

[Green Machine]

Great video but what do you do if you don't have a car wash like this in your area? At least I don't think I do! I will have to check!

Same for me...must be the codec of the video. I have every codec known to man on my computer too. It has to be the video but whatever it is its weird.

Most of mine have signs that say no hand washing. So I may have to find another way, going to get a foam gun anyway.

Yeah that would suck! Especially if you live in a apartment with no access to a water supply.

 

This is geared toward those without access to a water supply and/or pressure washer....otherwise, I know I'm not putting my money in a machine when I already pay for it at the house, haha!

[J Tegeler]

the coin opp around me has heated bays. so it is toasty in them! fogs up like crazy though is the only bad part.

The real question is, do you guys wash below 32* or do you wait? I've washed my car in the winter before and had the doors be frozen the next morning (and yes I dried the jambs).

 

I also may or may not have washed my car in 7* weather before. I am addicted.

Excellent video. Now that I have a ride worth keeping the paint looking its very best, I'm going to follow this video as a guideline. Thank you for putting this together!

Be sure to keep the seals treated with SVRT to help them repel the water and consequently avoid the freezing/sticking shut problem.

Adam, great video. I am the same way - I love washing my car, it's therapeutic.

 

Is it just me or did that Volvo have Georgia tags in the back and Nebraska tags in the front???

Not confused, I noticed the same thing.

[mhundley]

Great video Adam! Thank for keep us ahead of the curve.

[Team Adam's]

Not confused, I noticed the same thing.

 

It does... I didn't get the story from Adam as to why it did.

[matts88yj]

I figured maybe it was done to protect the car that was being used in the demo's identity or location but that's just me being me

I thought the same thing. I'm sure that Adam or Dylan will chime in. Never understood why some cover or swirl out the plates, as going down the street everyone sees them.
