Default Any proven links between car washing and performance?
Seems like my car always get a bit sluggish (both accelerating and braking) towards the end of the week, and then after a normal routine car wash, it always feels a lot smoother. Is it all a mind game or can there be actually some links between the two? hum...

All that dirt = greater wind resistance. Cleaned & waxed = easier airflow : )

Default They are the best kind. Don't have to hold 'em and talk to 'em afterwards (M)
Just get up,pack up,zip up,and go.
