S-Techs + Waterway car wash = Fail

Needless to say, my car got stuck on the rails of the wash. Approx 1 inch too low and my cross link caught. FML......

I can't get through with H-Techs! Even when they put a board between the rails, she doesn't make it.

That's what a local place does for me too. I used to go there before I lowered the car. Now it won't fit but the owner stops all the other cars to hand wash and dry mine for me.

They offered to hand wash but I was in a hurry. There is another one by the house with lower rails so maybe it will work. If not, I just saved a lot of $ in car washes

No offense but you own a G35 bro not a 93 Altima....stay away from mechanical car washes.

There's a reason folks with higher quality cars don't use those things.

Don't even get me started on what those mechanical brushes really do to your paint

I have never had issues with mechanical car washes until now. Hell, my Vette used to fit...well the 285 rears had some issues

Hand washing the G tomorrow since it is above 40* here.

There are touchless car washes without the rail around here. The only ones I'll use and only in winter.
