are there any good "touchless" car washes that won't screw up the paint?

even somewhere just to spray on soap and rinse?

need to keep my truck clean

[thumper]

i've been going to this one:

Car Wash Burnaby BC | Car Wash Near Me | Autoxpress (http://www.carwashburnabybc.ca/)

but don't bother with the expensive packages. just stick to the two cheapest/underwash options.

and if you are expecting miracles like after offroading you will be disappointed. i saw one truck go in for a basic wash that was covered in mud and it came out looking no better than before.

I do have to agree about how much of that saline solution gets on your car, though. After two weeks I decided to wash my car.

Well... power washed it, at least. She's still dirty, but at least you can see the original colour now.

Pouring rain mix with snow in Richmond. Most big roads are clear, but left turn lanes are still sketchy tho. I watched a mustang end up doing a U turn cause they spun LOL.

Only good thing about this snow is that I get to see all the cool snow cars, like a volvo v70r. Surprisingly, a slammed wrx sti and a lowered legacy gt wasn't too shabby in this snow. Makes me want to take out my e46, too bad it's broken.

As I said earlier, I was helping a new Boxster off the street earlier. I can only assume summer tires as it was completely useless. Anyhow, multiple times I had to scream at the young girl to stop as she was spinning non stop sideways directly into the curb. Finally we got her to the side of the road where she wasn't blocking traffic. I went home and grabbed my boots and went back to the high traffic corner. Looks like she tried again. And curbed the living shit out of her rims. Some people just don't listen. haha. I don't feel bad for her.

Fuck this city when it snows.

I left Bby at 7 and there wasn't a hint of snow. 9 oclock at UBC snow starts but we say "it won't stick to the roads" Come out of the bush at 11 to slow moving traffic. oh boy

Stopped to push some kid out of the middle of 16th. Nobody else stopped even though he was practically begging. Here is my old lady description of the car....green with decals, four door, couldn't push on the spoiler because it isn't "really attached", neither was the bumper so he said just to push on the brake light area, big rims and no rubber. Took two tries to get him going and once I got him parked on the side street I said in the most motherly and patronizing "you are going to leave that parked here as I don't think those tires are made for this weather"

Line up of cars blocking Broadway waiting to get into the tire shop

6 buses backup up along Broadway at McDonald

4th was a gong show due to the Burrard Bridge being closed

At 2 a Mazda minivan couldn't get grip and was spinning his tires at Hemlock and Broadway. WTF that isn't even steep!

You could try putting some small chains or rings on the wiper arms and sliding one down every so often when the ice collects.

But if you're taking the RS with winters you should be fine. The e46s rear end kept slipping and traction kept cutting out, but the STI we're with was fine.

Just watch out cause snow is really heavily packed and it's tall. And your windshield and wipers will freeze

It was fun... in city backroads LOL. On the hwy, not so fun when there's semi-trucks forcing you into the shoulder every 5 minutes. I get it, keep right to unless passing, but in this case, you could not see a visible lane and you would start to plow/have the chance to get stuck, if you kept right. They just chose terrible places to pass, like around bends.

If anyone else is going out that way, don't take a rwd car LOL. And make sure you figure out how to keep that windshield and wiper blades from freezing up. Probably best to switch to 1 piece winter blades, as we found that the e46 had 14 moving joints that all froze up.

EDIT: In hindsight, putting rain-x on your windows might have helped. In Vancouver application, at city speeds, it clears off the water pretty well without wipers. I would assume it would still help clear off water on your windows, which would then prevent the windshield from freezing over.

Guys, drive carefully. I just got back from visiting my wife at the cemetery and it was a skating rink. Black ice. I have Hakkapelitta’s and still slid a bit.

Stay on main, well traveled, and salted roads whenever/wherever you can and slow down on less traveled, unsalted roads.

Guys, drive carefully. I just got back from visiting my wife at the cemetery and it was a skating rink. Black ice. I have Hakkapelitta’s and still slid a bit.

Yea was crazy this morning, never felt this much black ice ever driving around the LM, i was in essentially same area as you, NW/Burnaby

My trucks All-Terrains were fine driving to work, but the work cars Nokian WRG3's were fucking garbage, driving up cariboo hill from gaglardi i was legit scared i was gonna start sliding backward down the hill , i was sliding around that much.

Got up to the top and did what you mentioned there, stayed on flat, main roads until the sun came out. Scary shit when your whole car is moving independantly of your steering lol

Dumping snow on the Sea to Sky. Bumper to bumper from Brohm Lake to Whistler since 6:30am this morning. Very heavy and slushy snow - the kind that spins cars out. Be prepared if you travel up here.

i might take mine off next weekend. Had them on since Xmas, don't think they walked on snow, nor ice, heck not even frost.

I pulled out of the garage the other day in my M4 with summers, randomly started snowing. Noped the fk out of that one got into my 328xi with winters. :confused: Supposedly going to snow again next week?

[320icar]

^^ good call. My brothers neighbor last year tried to drive his 458 in the snow. Got out of the garage and immediately got stuck in the middle of the lane (townhouse complex). Had to listen to him revving the nuts off of it for a good half hour. Refused to help though since that neighbor is annoying with equally rich friends to rip through the complex at inappropriate speeds

[fliptuner]

Same thing happened in my complex last year with a guy in his FRS. I just stood there, watching, having a smoke. He took so long that I got a chair out, sat there and watched.

my commute involves 30mins along hwy 10, 20mins along hwy 99 and 25mins along oak st to get into downtown van. so far, there has been absolutely NO reason to have winter tires along those main routes.

OK... its finally getting cold enough to snow... hmmm... winter tires on deck... it's like -1 today.... damn...i may have to do the swap.

-weather statement from Environment Canada this afternoon.

Is snow coming soon? :heckno:

https://weather.gc.ca/warnings/report_e.html?bc42#2155445521099668872201802120502 ws1171cwvr

2:13 PM PST Monday 12 February 2018
Special weather statement in effect for:
•City of Vancouver - including Burnaby and New Westminster
•Metro Vancouver - northeast including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge
•Metro Vancouver - southeast including Surrey and Langley
•Metro Vancouver - southwest including Richmond and Delta
•North Shore - including West Vancouver and North Vancouver

Snow expected over the BC South Coast beginning Tuesday afternoon.

Arctic air has been in place over the South Coast for several days. A potent storm system over the Alaskan Panhandle will advance southwards on Tuesday, bringing Pacific moisture into the mix.

Snowfall accumulations of 5 to 15 cm are quite possible, especially away from the Strait of Georgia, before the snow ends Wednesday morning. Freezing levels on Vancouver Island should be high enough to restrict significant snow accumulations to elevations higher than about 200 m.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ec.tempetepacifique-pacificstorm.ec@canada.ca or tweet reports using #BCStorm

Richmond, I think brother/sister mid 20’s, no parents. Range Rover SS and white 458 in garage, black Range Rover SS in visitors every day, friends in their s63’s and Bentley’s always flooring it through.

Like I said, Richmond. What else is there to explain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Miss driving a car tho. No fun. Just A to B. Haven't gotten a ticket in years tho lol

my cray cray brother in law lives in a townhouse close to that new walmart. Its more or less the same situation in his complex (no ferrari's, but some +100k cars) . I find it retarded when the cars are 1/3 of the townhouse presale values.

[vitaminG]

winter tires actually have less grip than all seasons above 7C

[underscore]

I think the amount of grip lost by winters above 7*C is less than the amount of grip lost by all seasons/summers below 7*C. And certainly much less than the amount lost when it dips below 0*C in the evening.

An inch of snow on the road and I can see just how bad drivers are. Going down Canada way a few moments ago and tge road is pretty dead. Tire tracks looke like people are doing a slalom course when you can easily make out the center line in the road. Doesn't help when cars go 20kmph and drive in the middle of 2 lanes.

Frick, left the casino 20 minutes ago to find all this snow on the ground............... all seasons. RWD. no real issues until i got to the driveway at home, lol.

Main roads are good but side streets not so good. Light showers now and it is supposed to warm up which will hopefully melt the snow.

4” in Chilliwack, didn’t start snowing til about 10

easy 10-15cm of wet snow where i live, but that dropped quickly when things warmed up. it was brutal to shovel because it was so heavy. we were still getting wet flurries in north burnaby when i left for work at 5am this morning... when i got to surrey there was not much in the way of plowing on secondary streets and had to dodge around jacknifed transit buses again.

It's not that they can't afford the $1200 for the winter tires. It is that they are so oblivious and ignorant about life that changing tires for winter don't even cross their mind.

This group people are an socially awkward cancerous generation of society. Time will teach them.

Money doesn't buy skill or knowledge, apparently.

I think a lot of rich kids with BMWs are guilty of this as well. I saw one BMW stuck on a pole with the kid talking to the insurance person when it snowed last year around this time.

I doubt half of these "track modded" cars go on tracks or even AutoX at all. Some of them seem to be just ricers, albeit the ones that can afford something more than an old Civic. Sometimes I see some nice BMWs with giant wings and fart can exhausts drive by and I just shake my head.

Anyways, we may get flurries in Victoria as well. Have my winters on since late October, so should be ready... Assuming if I wanna drive my 8 in snow at all.
