Thanks to the ingrates that steal the towels. Likewise to the dollar store greeting card buyers who have been stealing the envelopes so they had to remove them from the racks and keep them up front. Likewise to the people who get their roof for free so everyone now has to pay more insurance because of it. Bring back the pillory!

This petty larceny seems to have coincided with the arrival of the apartment dwellers

Gross

To me going to a great car wash and leaving with the vehicle spotless is worth the money. It is not worth sweating your whatever off to be outside sweating in this heat and humidity. Have you all lost your minds? BLTW = Break Loose Tight Wad! Go to a real car wash instead of these Playschool Joints.

Someone please, I’m begging give me a top drawer local MOBILE, IN MY DRIVEWAY DETAILER THAT YOU HAVE USED LATELY, I read the old posts. Don’t wanna be disrespectful or disappointed. Price is not an issue. I want a perfect job. If they do Golf Carts to that’s a plus. I thank you in advance. Mr. Spotless.

The guy I used in The Historical Section won’t make the trip south of 44. He thinks he needs a passaport to come down here. He wasn’t doing such a great job as he was not aging well and he wanted to use my towels and wouldn’t give me his license as security.

Please help with the Detailer, I’ll be eternally grateful! Thanks NUCKY!

Sweetwater, Car, Wash
 

I agree Sweetwater car wash is great! The unlimited packages are wonderful and if you want to get towels to use, the last couple times, I’ve been there they don’t need your drivers license, you can leave most anything sunglasses your keys and they’ll give them back when you return the towels.

I like their car wash it does a great job , but I’ve been puzzled about the towel issue . I guess all these years I’ve been going to wrong car washes because I don’t ever remember having access to towels to wipe my car down nor did I ever expect one . I’ve always kept a towel in my car to be ready anytime I want to wash it

My car turned six years old yesterday and in all that time the only car wash it has been to is at the dealership, where it went for complimentary oil changes the first two years. Otherwise, it's only been washed by pulling it out of the garage when raining. Lately that hasn't worked because of the drought. And, although I am relatively tall, I can't reach the roof of this SUV to towel it off and husband has been indisposed, so I am considering resorting to going to a car wash.

I guess it is a family policy to not spend money on car washes, since his car is 13 and hasn't been to a car wash either.

nothing like a good blow dry.

And if they lose they will appeal then you will need to hire a lawyer to represent you in appeals court.

100% Agreed, but then of course there would be a 200 post topic about "Sweetwater is ripping us off selling (or renting) towels and I'll never go there again."

. Last time I WASHED my own car (~2 yrs ago) I fell off a stepladder while drying the roof and literary broke my arse (tailbone) and had to sit on a donut for 6 months. My driveway is on a pretty large hill and dumb me put the stepladder on the soap coated painted driveway and smash!. Even have it on video from my security cam. I watch it once a month as a reminder how I almost killed myself. LOL. Now I get it detailed once a year and that's it other than when I bring it in for an oil change. :D

Not the best business policy. You can buy boxes (100) of those cloths. Increase the cost of the carwash by .25 and that should cover the replacement of those that go missing. This way you are ticking off your clients.

Seriously?

That's terrible! They say the worst accidents often happen close to home.

It is becoming the trend. The carwash I go to provides free vacuum, towels, and three air guns on the right side (one for window cleaner, one for air to blow dust out of crevices, and one sanitize fluid). On the left where the towels are There is a mister where you choose your desired car scent (if any) and car mat cleaners. You slide the mats into this machine (as you would a fax) and it washes and vacuums them. then they come out the other end. Kind of like you are making pasta. $24.00 a month for unlimited washes (Usual price 32/mo)

That's why I moved

That's why I want to move! :loco:

hmmm. 2 years and 13 years WOW you never got bugs or bird droppings or road dirt lucky you , mine came with the coating from the factory ,I still have to wipe the front down with a sponge almost every day to get the bugs off and I use the car wash couple of times a month , but lucky you .

Damn... I broke my rule of not reading the thread before replying... :D

towels
 

And he tells the younger customers that its the old people in the villages

Ask the restaurants in The Villages, how many salt and pepper shakers, mustard, and ketchup containers and jellies go missing every day.
Yes the car wash is probably losing many towels a day. Can’t blame them for this policy

Totally agree. When Fenney Grill opened they had very nice S&P shakers and they did have them for sale. Every pair were stolen from the tables. Just ridiculous.

To take your license is a bit much, dont you think?

Nope...

Don’t see a problem, I keep a micro fiber in the car all the time. Went there yesterday.

Sweetwater is very rough on the finish and the tire cleaners haven't worked right since they opened.
