I use the mech. car washes all the time without any problems. They do a better job than the touchless do when real dirty and the ones in my area all use cloth strips and no brushes that scratch the finish. My 3 year old car looks as good as it did when I bought it. Also when I sold my 4 1/2 year old Colorado crewcab the paint looked just like new.

I don't trust the mechanical car washes for fear of scratching the paint. I either hand wash the car or use a touchless car wash. You're right in that the touchless washes don't get the car completely clean. Horizontal surfaces will typically have a light film of dirt on them, and the lower vertical surfaces (like behind the rear wheels) will have visible dirt on them. But they are effective in getting the salt off in winter.

Do you mean salt OR winter?
 
We don't have much of either here anymore either (central VA).

Maybe we in the Midwest can share some extra winter with you this year. Snow, winds, ice, salt, bad drivers in SUVs, etc.

Around here when the snow flies 'bad drivers in SUVs, etc,.." can't hold a candle to over-confident and/or inexperienced FWD and/or F/AWD vehicle drivers, SUV or not.

White powder substance coming out of vents by Robinator

About a month ago I started getting small white powdery flakes coming out of all my vents when I turn the heat or air on. I thought it may be the Hepha filter, so I changed it and its still happening. Has anyone else had this strange issue or any ideas what it may be?
 
Thanks,
 
Rob

Hey, so some Japanese factory worker smuggled a kilo of blow in your heater system.
 
How lucky are you?????
 
Inhale, close your eyes, relax and float downstream!!!

I think I remember seeing a post somehwere on the net that your evaporator was coated with an anti-microbial chemical at the factory to prevent the microbes that lead to that mold and mildew smell from breeding in the dark, damp, dank and cool plenum area of the HVAC system.
 
After a period of time, enough "washings" of the evaporator vane surfaces, the coating begins to flake off.
 
Apparently some customers have had their evaporator replaced as a result.
