This review is for the "no touch" car wash only. 

I like to head out into the desert on the weekend and get my truck a bit dusty. When I come back to civilization I like to make myself look civilized again (it's a good disguise). To that end I have tried the three cheapest car wash options. 

The four dollar option certainly sprayed water on my truck. This did a great job of removing the loose dust. Fortunately it also left my bug collection, the one I keep on the front grill, untouched. I feel that the carcasses of bugs I've killed gives my truck that "tough truck" look one always hears about. To that end I'm happy to report that this level of wash also left a thick layer of mud on my rear step. This level of wash does not include an under carriage rinse.

Next week I tried the eight dollar wash. This included shampoo even though my truck has no hair. This level of wash seems to include more rinsing. It knocked the wings right off my bug collection leaving nothing but bodies and smears. It also left a much thinner layer of soil on my rear step. That might be because, somehow, it left more  streaking down the back. This level of wash included an undercariage wash that turned the boring even layer of dust under there into somewhat artistic splatters. 

The next week I decided to be done with my bug collection once and for all so I used the window washer thing at the gas station on my front grill. Yes, I was that guy. I decided to try the six dollar car wash with (under carriage). This was a huge mistake. The six dollar wash includes "sealer" which apparently it's designed to leave speckles of dirt all over your car. If I had known that I would never have bought it. I would recommend avoiding this level of wash. I had to re-wash by hand that day. 

The driers are not sufficient to dry a mid- sized truck, even here in the desert. Each week I left with spots of water all over. I used all of the allotted drier time and my truck was waxed last month. 

Still for eighteen dollars I've had two near-washes and a pre-wash. That is not too bad. I would recommend cleaning off the bugs by scrubby thing before hand. If your just looking for a lazy persons car dusting this will work for you.
