Re: Self-Wash in the West End
I would love at some point to exchange some detailing know-how or demonstration for some lift time. I think I may have blown out the left rear shock on the 3-series as its doing a good deal of clunking..so having a lift to replace that and maybe an oil change would definitely save me some $$.
That and I saw you're a gun guy...VA is my kind of place.

Re: Self-Wash in the West End
A guy was changing his oil on a 2002 Subaru here last night and showing people his 4-1/2" turbo downpipe, sway bars, and other mods on the lift. 
Just have to use the lift when I'm here (safety) and when it's nice outside (my garaged car has no roof).
If you bring your own cleaning stuff, the hose on the side is always available even if I'm not here. Send me a PM or AIM if you want to wash/detail/use lift/etc.

I will be sure to add you as a buddy on AIM. Are you on now?

Re: Self-Wash in the West End
Thanks. It started out as a hobby on my 1st M3 and grew into a pretty big business. Ive thought about starting something down here...I just dont know if people would be willing to pay the same as they did in the NYC area (that and I dont have access to my own shop as I did in NJ when working for a BMW tuning company).

Re: Self-Wash in the West End
I am all for ONR when I am going to be polishing afterwards, I just hate the idea of wiping the dirt off with an MF when Im just doing a quick wash.
I know most people will claim that ONR leaves a mar-free finish (Corvettes, Audis), but then there are some clears that are so butter soft ONR can easily mar them.
