I have used Jeff's Car Wash over the years, and used to go through the automatic. However, I don't use theirs or other automatics as I wish to keep my finish free of swirl marks and fine scratches.
After using the self serve and thoroughly spot free rinsing my vehicle, I left and drove down New Circle Road. When I got to my destination, I was shocked at the severe and unsightly spots all over every inch of the dark paint. It's obvious that the spot free equipment (Reverse Osmosis) is not working. I called them, and they said to bring it back, and someone would spray it again. What good will that do? Then they made excuses, like it's so hot, it dried too fast, etc. , I was told they just spent $21K on a new system. Hope they did not waste their funds.
I took the vehicle home and had to detail it myself to get rid of all the spots.
Would not recommend the self serve for spot free until they come to the conclusion that it does not work. and have it serviced.
