Default Washing the RSX

The Dreaded Brush...do you use it? I don't even consider those drive-through auto-whrilling-brush places, I'm talking about the broom-type brush that spits out suds or just a regular hand brush. I find that I either have to use some kind of brush to get it really clean or just soak, soap, rinse, and then do a really laborious wipedown to clear all the dirt off.
What's up?

Default The Spray Wax

Opinions on the spray wax at those self-serve park places...? You know the type; there's like a knob with settings like rinse, soap, engine degrease, and wax. I'm guessing I'd have to completely dry the car before spraying it with the wax, which would be a problem because there isn't an auto dry place here. Thoughts?...

Just hand wash your car man. I sometimes take mine through an auto car wash that just sprays but doesn't use the brushes. That is only because I wash my car like 3 times a week. I wouldn't use the broom brushes though, they scratch up your paint. and spray wax sucks.

Don't be lazy if you live in warm weather. Wash the car yourself. I would suggest you only go to Touchless places, as the brushes can scratch your car if dirt gets caught in the brushes.

Unfortuanetly, here it's way too cold to wash my own car and I have to waste money at touchless car washes

Once a week through the automated car wash, year round. I don't feel like washing a car by hand. Whirling brush or whatever.
