Very good advice, this method has worked for me for years. My only extra word
of caution is that this technique is illegal now in parts of CA, and there
are signs posted in the coin-op car washes that state this. Still, it is a
job which has to be done once in a while-best done under stealth-they are
open 24 hours ;-).
