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.Originally Posted by loki05

Local place ask them to wash it out of the machine ftw
My 18's before used to get all scratched from the rails so I sold them and asked them to wash out of the machine

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

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 Originally Posted by tiguy99

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