So, it just snowed, but it is above freezing today. I went through the car wash once earlier this year with snow on the car, and the workers did a lot more work than usual, spraying and moving the snow off the top of the car before I went through. Which was nice because I didn’t have to do it.
Is it rude to go through the car wash with snow on your car or is that part of the service provided by the car wash?
EDIT: For more context, the car wash is right down the street from where I live, so by going through, I’m removing the snow so I’m NOT driving around with snow on the car.
I’m also removing a lot of snow before leaving the driveway, but not getting 100% off.
Seems like the consensus is that driving with dangerous amounts of snow on a car is not ok, but few people have addressed the carwash portion of the question.
EDIT 2: I think I’m gonna go in and ask the workers today what they think.
EDIT 3: Didn’t have time to go to the carwash today, will have to ask later.
Just buy a leaf blower if you’re that lazy. Works infinitely better and will be cheaper after a year or two of snow.
Plus you can use it to dry your car after washing it in addition to any host of uses.
if the snow can be blown off with a leaf blower, it wasn’t snow that would be any bother to the employee or a hazard to other drivers
it’s ice that’s dangerous to other drivers, and heavy snow/ice that is harder to wash off
Leaf blower would never work. A literal broom often doesn’t work.
