Help, can’t find ‘Car Wash’ mode

[AmishMike]

Here you go boys. And Luke is old enough to predate star wars. If you know.

Stuck trying to figure out what car that is.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Don’t want it to lock up on me from the local car wash.

(let the flaming begin)

It’s obviously the one that looks like a duck.

If it tells you anything, I used to own six car washes. Sold them in 2007. My cars have been washed in the driveway since.

Talk about a post that can't be real....

The solution is obvious, run it through 34" of mud first, and make sure it all squishes into every nook and cranny, then take it to the car wash. Be sure to wrap all of the drivetrain parts in plastic wrap, first.

i knew this universe was just a simulation. I think that some of the code needs to be reviewed, though.

When I had my 76 Chevy 3/4 T on 38's. Bunch of us went muddin'. After we got done. I went to the local car wash. About half way through spraying the mud off. The owner of the car wash asked me if I had fun getting the truck muddy. I said that I had a blast. He then said "after you are done. Here's a shovel to shovel the mud out of the bay. And when you are done. DON'T come back." Think I left about 200 lbs of mud in that bay.

Rusty, thanks for making my day "harder" than it already was...???

My pleasure. Or is that your pleasure?

And yet you can take a JLu 4xe through the car wash - not that I ever would - automatic car washes are crap and miss a lot of stuff on Jeeps (been through them here as the dealership gives car wash cards after service visits) - they can never do a job as well as I can, they miss a lot of spots, they spray into things that should not be sprayed directly at, and they whip the shit out of some parts. They miss the part of a Jeep directly in front of the tail lights because it's a square recess and whipping sandbags can't get into squared recess areas.
Automatic car washes are lazy and just can't do as well as a human can, not to mention, are destructive. Last one I went through was whipping the wiper arms badly, really torturing the antenna, and thought it was going to rip off the bug deflector. I got to the end and check things over and ended up driving over to a DIY car wash, vowed never again.

No way I'd take anything with that much electronics and wiring through a shitty automatic. Wash it yourself and do it right.
On the other hand - I wonder if they have heard of a modern invention called a SEALED connector?

BLUF - I don't use, or have never used automatic car washes.

What do you northern snow "Jeep" people do in the winter? When the roads are salted, brined and overall nasty. Your Jeep undercarriage is dirty, the paint has cold snot sticking to it and the engine bay looks like you ran over a racoon. I heard that your water hose at your house is frozen and not available. What do you do then?

I drive to a car wash, swipe my credit card, turn the knob to "presoak", grab the wand and start soaking the body of the truck. Then I turn to high pressure soap, spray the truck, underside and so on, maybe use a foaming brush on tires and wheels.
rinse thoroughly!
The engine bay doesn't get dirty.

Upstate New York here.
NHOU spray the entire underside of my vehicles in the fall. Don’t wash the underside until spring. They all look like brand new.
