For 5 hours, I get to use the same sponge, the same dirty water/soap, the same sham-wows on 150+ cars. Last year we had Corvettes, BMW's, Mercedes, Lexii, etc. How am I going to do this?! And how will I nicely tell them there is no way they are washing my car after I went through 15 hours of polishing it 2 weeks ago?
 
What about all the other cars? Maybe the safe thing to do is just donate the money and decline the wash.
 
Maybe this is a chance to educate your church on how to do it better. Donate a gallon of ONR and a bunch of grout sponges :)
 
My choice is to educate them on what they are doing wrong and volunteer to show them how to do it right. Maybe even donate some clean mitts and drying towels.
 
Last week my church had a car wash fundraiser, they were all educated on the correct way to do it. They changed the wash water at least once an hour and rinsed out the wash mitts after every car. For drying they used a few of the California water blades as well as chamois. I was quite impressed by the quality of their work. The people running the event put the smackdown on any horse play as well.
 
If you teach them the right way then they are going to know whats right and wrong. If you just leave it up to them and they have no idea, well you know what happens then.
 
Think there's something written about that, the blind leading the swirled or something like that ;)



Whenever one of units has a fund raiser car wash I donate but don't let them touch my car. They don't seem to mind.
 
I tried to only wash black plastic, only wash wheels, only wash door handles. In the end I decided that if these people bring their cars here, they are most likely the same people that would take their car to the local swirl-o-matic, so I just did the best I could. I hated cleaning Lexuses, BMWs, Mercedes, Acuras, etc. with the same mitt for 5 hours. Even a heavily modified BMW Z3 came through and was washed the same way. My car, however, was hiding in the Trader Joes parking lot across the street.
