Touchless Car Wash

[MovinH2]

Anyone use them. We have one at the local BP that we usually use, but I'm a little nervous taking the H2 through it. Will it even fit? If so has anyone tried it? I'm a little nervous it will do some damage or hurt the paint. I usually do it by hand, but it's a heck of a job cleaning one of these big boys.

If you want something done right...

been through many times no problem. dont even have to fold the mirrors in

I only do it myself as well. I will run mine though in the winter from time to time...but its finish is 90%.

I have also heard that the "hot wax" they use is bad for clear coat.

I've never done this in the HUMMER. I thought it blew off your Marker lights or something.

I agree with VT, if there is any road grime or dirt those touchless car washes don't get it very clean.

I traded in a '01 black Sierra in July that had 98k miles on it. The dealer could not believe how good the paint looked, and my trade-in value reflected it. I've found that hand washing and regular (every month or so) hand waxing with Zymol works wonders.

You mean you guys don't get to wash yours at work and get paid for it?

I've never run it through the smaller auto car washes...I usually take it to the ones where they'll dry it for you too. Never had a problem with them. In fact, what's sad is they tell me I'm the only Hummer they've ever seen dirty. Most come in clean to be cleaned again...

[Marcmedic]

I'm in. Just don't put that crap on the tires so it flies off all over the side of the truck.

I was in a hurry last week and went through one of these. it ripped off my CB antennae. It had only been up there for about 2 weeks

Never again, well probably never

Ken, if you wan't, you can stop by Taco Bell and maybe I can hook you up with a burrito for your trouble. I just have to make sure I'm in the drive thru that day.

[MovinH2]

Thanks all. The owner of the BP said he's never seen a H2 try to go through it. He said my mirrors would have to come in cause his is such a tight fit. It just had me worried. I don't want anything to happen to it. I'll give it a try when I'm really dirty and let ya know.

I tried to go through a local manned wash last week and they said it wouldnt fit because theres was older but the newer washes should it just fine and they did.

What brand car wash is it. Not BP but the equipment brand or trade mark. I sell car washes. Most can fit it, although some do not. I have taken my H1 through a touchless before. Never again will I do it unless I turn my engine off while it is doing its thing. Its a diesel thing you wouldn't understand. See even use Hummer guys can make a joke about that stupid jeep slogan. I've got others.

Not sure bro,
If I get a chance to go by there tomorrow and look I will. When I go in though in my other cars, I never really see a name. I might have to ask the owner that next time I see him about that.
