Although I don't drive my G during winter, its still a little dirty in the garage and I feel bad. So I will wash it, that way when snow is gone its clean and ready! Also, I want to use it on my other car.
Got any tips on using this stuff? I will order some for sure.

If your G isn't driven in the winter and you want to keep the dust off it, I would highly recommend a QD like Poor Boys Spray & Wipe.

Have fun.

Anyways, I pull into the bracket just fine, go through the carwash, and when I go to pull out of the bracket, it bottoms out right on my front left splash guard behind the tire and breaks a big chunk out of it and cracks it up to the top...
I hate it for life. I should have just washed it myself I guess, it's too freaking cold though!
At least it was just the splash guard and I can get another one easily I would think, heh.

The only carwash to go to is a "Laserwash". Nothing besides water, soap, and air, touches any part of your car.

Yeah we have one too and I was terrified when I got my car dropped. Luckily nothing like this happened though.
Sounds like this is one where you put your car in N and it pulls it forward? Only drive through carwash I've used, and will use, is one where I pull in and stop. No tracks. The touchfree equipment just moves around the car.
