Due to the drought in parts of NC will the car wash in Robbinsville be open

or any other ones in the area?

 

More important, Will the car washing area be there?
Gots to keep the "Baby" clean!!

There is nothing more unappealing then a dirty MINI.

 

good question.

 

That is a very good question. When I was down there last October I could not bring myself to wash my car even when I found a wash that was open. A little honest road dirt from motoring looks good on our cars.

 

Hope so, otherwise the detailing sessions with OctaneGuy won't fly.

 

Yes he'd have to show you how to do a KosaK Dry Wash.

 

Lots of bottles of water......

 

lots of empty bottles...and they don't recycle

 

I'll be needing a wash baddly

 

word. not to mention...there will be one dirty car show. and ill be a monkeys uncle if they think im quick detailing a dirty car.

 

Yep... QD won't cut it after almost 1000 miles from home to MOTD!

How will anyone see the true sparkle from 200 coats of Zaino if I can't get the road grime off?

 

As long as there is running water within 50 miles of Fontana Village, I'll have a clean MINI. Even if I have to carry it to my MINI using pans from the cabin.

 

Just got off the phone with the good people at Fontana Village and they tell me that the car wash area will be fully operational for "Pure Silver Cabrios ONLY".

Just kidding of course... Its fully operational without restriction for everyones use.

 

That is good news. Nice to know the people down there have reservoirs with water in them this year.

 

DOH!!! lol

awesome...great news!

 

I have never been to fontana is this Car Wash touchless or DIY? Cuase I will be a damm fool if I let a rotating scratch brush touch my car.

 

DIY...it'll consist of a connected hose, period. Bring all your car washing gear or buy it there.
I wonder if the car wash area will be next to the putt-putt or over by the old registration bldg. I guess I'll find out.

 

That's terrific news. Showers of applause to Fontana for bathing beauties.

 

+1 for the thanks to Fontana.

I'll be happier with clean windows for the drives! Hopefully, it won't rain and ruin all of our hard work.

 

Bring spare shoes with you to the wash area... in '06 the grass near the wash area got kinda saturated from several hundred MINI washes. The cars were on pavement, but if you had to venture into the grass to turn off the water, it was a bit swampy. No point in tracking mud into a clean MINI! :D

 

Just so everyone remembers how it worked last year.

 

One year there was an impromptu one near my room. Maintenance accidentally left a hose connected. There were cars there constantly!

 

The unit under the cabana rooms has a spigot handy. Last year I was in room 129 and brought my hose pipe and kit- worked great!

Until I turned in my bingo card at the FW dinner- I never did locate Detailer's Paradise until Sunday.
