This is a sore subject for me, because personally, I depise comercial car washes.
Use the self serve if you worry about freezing the driveway, but never the machine!!!
If you insist on using the machine...
The bag is placed on the rear wiper because as the car goes through, the rags that hand down and swing about can get caught on the read wiper as the car passes through.
If they get caught, the will tear the wiper clean off.
The bag helps keep the rags from getting caught on the little edges of the wiper arms.
Good luck!

Scottm123: Thanks!! Thats exactly what I am looking for. I recently bought a matching bench seat cover that goes over the entire 2nd row with towels hidden under the car seats. Now I can get rid of the towels. Also the bench seat cover may be too big on the 3rd row..haven't tried it yet.

The bench seat cover will work great for keeping the leather clean.
Adding this additional protection will keep your seats from getting those horrible indents, that never go away.
The car seats fit so tightly that they dig into the padding beneath the leather.
Over time, it ruins the seats.
This car seat protector is thick enough that it protects from those dents.
I'll never install a car seat without one again.
And for the low cost, once it gets dirty and nasty, it's not so much to replace it.

Did you check the tire pressure in all the wheels ? A simple thing to rule out..who knows, may be you have a faulty tire/nozzle cap.

My other car has the horrible indents from the car seats and along with the food stains the little critters made I doubt any adult would want to sit behind. Its an old car so don't care much about it. But I wouldn't want the same thing on my MDX. I got the bench cover at a local supermarket for $17 (sells for $40 in auto stores) and with $20 a piece (2 car seats) for the seat protector thats money well spent. While I'm at Babiesrus this weekend I'm also going to look for something that will protect the back of driver/passenger seat from all the shoe marks.

Update: the Two Stage Car Seat Protection was put to test over the weekend. My 3 year old threw up and made a big mess. The car seat and the seat protector got the brunt of it. Thrashed the car seat and hosed the seat protector. Its a good quality product. Its a must for car seats. Thanks scottm123 for recommending it. Also the seat cover added an extra protection and went straight into the washer. Everything is as good as new now

The car seat cover(which goes over the entire 2nd row to protect the leather seats) went into the washer..not the seat protector. For the seat protector I just used a little hand soap, little scrubbing with an old toothbrush and hosed it off. Later sprayed a little febreeze on it.
