new gen 3 blizzard pearl finish -car wash hints

wpease · 09-24-2009, 09:54 AM

Hi. Ive a new Blizzardpearl finish Gen 3 prius . Would there be any advice on what sort of car wash is best? Hand washing is unlikely to be an option for me.

It will also likely have to be parked outside since there are no garages so if anyone does use car washes and has advice on what to do ,what to avoid, etc that would be much appreciated.
Checked out the thread around the Gen 2s and it all seems to be around manual washing

thanks

I would pay someone to hand wash it, it's $15 or so down here for a hand wash and $30 for wash and wax. I pay for a hand wash once a month and every other month a wash and wax.
Touchless car washes won't get it clean, and the others scratch the car, especially if the vehicle before your was a dirty pickup truck or something similar.
