I started a new job recently which involves a 1km drive out to an island. At high tide a good bit of sea spray hits me on the way in and this morning a wave of water hit the car just once.
I'm well aware sea water is bad for the car but I want to know just how bad.
I've never gone to a car wash as I'm an avid detailer - http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,89106.msg902491.html#msg902491
I'm only here Monday to Friday and have no access to my own car washing stuff (or even a hose for that matter) until I get home Friday night so I won't be able to hand wash it.
The question is, can I leave the sea water on the car until I get home in 4/5 days time to wash it or should I get a carwash here?

If I were you, I'd go to a jet wash and just go over the car with the shampoo lance followed by high pressure rinse.. no need to use the nasty brush :wink:

The shampoo lance is often TFR. wouldn't recommend it.
Normal water only jet wash will be fine.
