Takin' it to the carwash... please read

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've posted but I read all the time. I'm a hardcore Zaino user and have many coats of z2/z5 on my '00 black camaro. I was in an accident recently and broke my back so I cant wash it myself for a few more weeks but will be able to drive it soon. I'm going to take it to a carwash where they do everything. Do you guys think that will be fine maybe if I did it 2 or 3 times then returned to washing myself and zaino? THanks for any input

I think you meant to say "they" instead of "I" did it 2 or 3 times. My opinion, leave it the way it is until you can do it yourself, NO ONE touches my car. You have Zaino on it, why are you worried, the Zaino provides serious paint protection, so what if it dirty, it will come clean when you get around to it.

Just get better and don't worry about the car.

Sorry to hear of your accident Mike. Like Kevin said, take it easy on the back and wait it out. Besides, don't you have any decent friends who'd be willing to help you out? Granted, after applying all those layers of zaino, washing a car is a breeze and can be done in minutes but I wouldn't push it. Healing muscles can be finicky when it comes to stretching and pulling. Hope your recovery is quick...

I dont use Zaino but I am meticulous with my car and its appearance. My Z isn't a daily driver but even still I would rather let a week or two go by with some dust and dirt on her then run it throw a car wash or let someone else do it. Like the previous post, if your paint is protected she will come clean. Hand it over to someone else and maybe they will use one of those cool long handled scrub brushes they use in the car wash to loosen up the dirt; I'll pass.
