Default Is this okay for car care?

Whenever I get gas I run it through the free car wash. I take it home, I spray Windex on whatever is glass. I basically take a paper towel and use water to clean up any spots and dry it. Is that fine?

Windex, fine, amonia actually helps wiper blades if wiped off or so I had once been told.

I agree with jst2366, car wash??? No way my pup gets near those people and machines.

negative on the automatic car wash

I may stop at the "you hosem" car washes to blast the grime off, but I have never put mine through an automatic...mostly because I'm too cheap, but also I've heard many horror stories about damage and car wash claiming they're not responsible.

what about the touch-free car washes? they do a half decent job, then i use maguires quick detailer to get the water spots off...I do try to hand wash my car as often as i can but the touchfree car wash saves plenty of time. Nowhere near as clean as hand washing though.

Go over them as diagonally as possible. And SLOW. I have had many a lowered car in my time and that is the only way you will save the lip.
