    Neutral is left center. Hold it there for one sec and it is in neutral. :)

    I went and took a quick look out at the car. It shows you right on the gear shift, of course it's to the left. I mean knowing to hold it for a couple of seconds might be the trick but it's pretty obvious. OK, I think I'm ready for the car wash now. :)

    The key is to hold it. A quick flick of the shifter, as you do to Reverse or Drive, won't work for Neutral.

    I'm sure they do a real good job, just understand that every wash is putting marring and scratches into the paint, and bombarding the car with cleaner that over time may etch and dull the paint, plastic and rubber trim, etc.

    For $22 you can almost have a professional hand wash it for you.
