I have never had any problem, so maybe this is a different type drive-thru? I have seen some really mud-caked, filthy trucks and SUVs go through the cloth-type and I can't help but think that dirt is ground into the paint. But like you say, sometimes you can't just wash the right way...there are times when it is too cold to wash, or it rains for weeks, so I feel it is better to wash off the pollution with the drive-thru than leave it on for weeks :-) I have an added problem with a perv across the street that parks himself and his family in chairs to watch me wash; and no, I'm not dressed provocatively. Just takes the fun out of cleaning my cars the right way :-( Karen > I wouldn't use a brush-type wash, but I'd have no > problem using a cloth-type > wash.
