Car washing Q's

Where in Scarb/Markham can I find coin washes or good hand wash places? Since you guys say I can't go through anymore automatic car washes I need to find a way to wash my car in the winter (it's my year-round beater).

Also, is getting a buffer worth the $$, coz a black car is SO hard to wax properly!! I'm contemplating whether or not I should get the tool set on sale at Can Tire now for $79 1/2 price. If a buffer will save cramps on my right arm (ahem, from car-waxing, not that kind of *wax*ing) I will wait till next time there's a sale to get the tools.

Ppl say my car too low to go to auto washes!

I used to go to Sunoco touchless washes before lowering my car. I washed my car yesterday and felt it was cold enough, soon I won't be able to stand out in the open and wash on my driveway!

It looks impressive, I'd like to get it coz all I have is a 100-piece power screwdriver and such, need some sockets:

heh.. i scratch too with the H&R's but thats cuz i have low profile tires.. and one big *** mid pipe...lol
no worries sportlines arent as low as H&R's
i think the shell at kennedy and near the 407 is much more feasible than the one on hwy 7 and valleymede for us.. COUGH.. scarborough peeps hehe

Go to Jet-Kleen.
This place is near the TCC meets. Vic Park and O'Connor.
Awesome place to wash your car. They even have engine shampoo/degreaser.
