The pavs is normally where you find us and Danny's is a good car wash that I use.

I've used Danny's before on my truck and was unimpressed. I use this stuff and a bag of microfiber cloths: http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...-wax-anywhere/

Works wonders and I can clean my car anywhere!!!

I use, the one at bell Rd and the 101 and they have always done a pretty good job on mine but I don't go all out I just get the $14 inside outside wash. I have heard from my roommate that other locations don't have nearly the same amount of attention to detail as that location. But if you pay for the VIP or fully hand wash and wax I would expect it to be really good for the price.

An update on my suspension it was wrecked when he wiggled the tire it looked like every lug but was loose but it was something to do with a loose gland nut and the sway bar had an issue took 3 specialist over an hour to get that fixed and I still have to go back tomorrow but it already feels way better.

Ouch. Who is doing your work? Do you have camber plates or crash bolts?

Stock sway or aftermarket? Front or rear?

It's stuff like this that makes me glad I know how to work on my own car, the second anything felt off, my car would be on the jack stands and I would be neck deep in parts looking for the culprit. Luckily suspension is way easier than engine problems. If your gland nut was messed up, did they check the axle to ensure it's straight? If you run with loose lugs you can actually bend the axle which makes things much worse in the long run, if it's bent you can spin the wheel fine and it wont wobble, it's hard to tell without pulling it from the axle carrier...

I know alot but not enough to figure it out the lugs where tight the wheel bearings where fine the struts weren't blown the bolts were tight the sway bar was all connected it just didn't make sense to me and he looked confused for a little bit but it was the height adjustment gland nut on the coil over that vibrated loose they didn't expect it and I never thought it could cause a tire to do that.
