Largely to play with Final Cut Pro for iPad, I decided to try the car wash run by - and directly adjacent to - the gas station in which I've been working for the past few months. It shall be the one and only time my Golf GTI ever experiences such a thing. **DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME** ...and by that I mean, if you care about the future of your car's exterior finish at all, *never use an automatic car wash*, even one so meek as ours.
