Could be good reasons, could be BS . I just accept the rule & move on. But then, I try not to be sucky.

Quoth TryNotToBeThatOne View PostAs for the former, well, let's just say that I had one car change colors after I washed it. It turned out to be a not-too-bad creamy beige color. Yes, it had been that long since I had worried about salt damage.
The second was the MG. When that first came home, it was covered in filth. Not only that, but the original orange color had faded to a nasty yellow. It took 2 days to not only wash the car, but to polish the crap out of it...and give a decent shine to the paint.
...as to why a housing complex might not want people washing their cars... It might have to do with the soap. Too much can back up the pipes--Scout camp showers were notorious for that. Too many bubbles down the drain meant they'd come out the overflow vents.Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

Quoth AdvancedFlea View PostSC: I’ve just paid £4.99 for that car wash and it hasn’t cleaned my car
Me: I was standing here watching it. The wash machine worked, I saw it.
SC: Well I’m not satisfied. It didn’t clean it.
It wouldn't surprise me, after reading some of the other stories on this forum. And I can't say my own customers haven't had similarly crazy demands.I suspect that... inside every adult (sometimes not very far inside) is a bratty kid who wants everything his own way.

Quoth HawaiianShirts View PostI was half expecting you to say she was mad because it didn't vacuum the rugs or wipe down the inside of the windows or polish up her sunglasses or some ridiculous thing like that.
Well, and how long would it take to handwash a VW Beetle? Seriously, not that long, just dump a bucket of water on it and scrub around ...
We own an older VW Beetle, we hardly ever wash it ... the paint is pretty crappy anyway ....This area is left blank for a reason.

Quoth TryNotToBeThatOne View PostAround here there are two reasons to wash your car (for those of us who don't otherwise care): salt & pollen. My car is literally green right now from all the pollen. It's no use washing it until pollen season is over, either; it'll just be covered again in a matter of hours. That's right, at this very moment, there are trees having non consensual sex with my car.
And that last sentence is really funny to me right now. I just got back from a sexual harassment training class (If you want to do it right, you need a class! ) and, basically the theme was don't look at or talk to anyone because even "hello" could be sexually charged. So, I'm offended! /sarcasm off/It's floating wicker propelled by fire!
