  not really true. certain areas like the rims the machines can't clean well. but you don't get thorough manual wash here in s'pore either. it's like the food business here there's only greed and no quality and they don't really scrub your cars. they merely splash water and detergent so not much difference from auto wash. u get better service including vacumn in jaybee for half the price.

  I agree wif Johnny.English that certain areas like the rims the machines can't clean well. the ventilated disc oso cannot clean........u have to wash them urself..........so far,i have not heard of the machines scratching the car............maybe u can find out for urself.....haha
