drove about 45 mins from CT to check it out today with some friends. Browsing the website last night I saw that "no appointments were necessary" for stuff besides detailing. Got there around 10:30am and Eric told me he couldn't do anything (all I wanted was exterior steam clean) until 4PM. Had I known an appointment was required, I would have made one instead of wasting that much time driving for no reason. The whole ordeal left me with a very sour taste in my mouth and given those poor business practices, I will not be going back. Thought the concept was pretty cool and efficient, but the implementation on the business end (in my experience) was poor.

Ok sounds good. Anyway you would want to do it later than 9? One of my buddies with a modded S4 might come down with me somewhere around noon if you can do then?

I love the innovative and environmentally sound way of cleaning the car, but I do have one question. I am in the auto appearance field as well, and too harsh of chemicals or even too high of a concentration of car wash can strip wax/sealant, so is this process safe for vehicles that have wax and/or sealant on them? Will it strip the wax or sealant off the surface?
I really wish I was closer!!! |

It's a special gas you can only get at some places that's basically pure ethanol. The guy at the station told me someone had it tested and it's between 110-115 oct. If you have a JB4 they just updated map 5 so it could run E85 and it made a huge difference. The car pulls so much harder especially in the higher gears.

no i know of E85, i just didn't think these cars were designed to run it safely. Also that stuff burns twice as quickly as regular gas no? i've read up on it quite a bit

Well if you have JB4 it's safe since they just put out the new autotuning map for it. And i heard that it burns twice as quick also but all the people that have been running it with JB4 for the last few weeks have said they've only lost around 1 mpg. That's probably because we're mixing it. I only did 4 gallons of it today so i think i'm around a 30/70 mix?

Yea i open it up pretty often as well and before this filled up with 93 around once a week maybe less. That gas station is awesome though, and the guy they had pumping the gas today was really nice. I had a long conversation with him about E85, how it works, and the prices of gas. Also i didn't notice much of a difference at first but after it being in map 5 for around an hour and doing a few pulls i began to notice a huge difference. Second feels like first used to, third feels like second used to, etc...
