  • Anyone ever get stuck going through car washes

    I went through a brushless car wash today, only $7.00 for the supreme wash. I started forward where the spray goes underneath the car and stopped to get the rear done. I then tried to go forward and my tires just spun and the car started going side to side, tried reverse same thing(car was pretty loud being inside the booth with the new exhaust), I had a employee come out from the gas station and 3 other people(customers I think) that came around to look, finally I applied the E-brake half way to give it more grab on the rear worked pretty well got me unstuck. I always use brushless car washes so I don't have swirl marks on the car and when I get home, I just touch it up where it needs and do the chrome rims, tire shine and windows. Anyone else have problems like that going through car washes?

        No washing my car on my own anymore , can't do it only the little stuff where I can sit and do the work. So its either $40 for hand wash at a big car wash , or $7.00 at a drive through.

          No, that never happened to me. In my lazy days I would take my car to a carwash like that. Shell Gas station has a brushless carwash, but my car is always half wet with still some soap on it.

              I always just take $3 bucks worth of quarters and use manual car wash bays and take my own cleaning rag instead of using the brush, i spray it, pre soak it, wash it with my rag and rinse it all off.

                          I didn't need to get anyone , they heard my car peeling out and the exhaust echoing through the car wash and their inside store is next door attach to the same building and came to check it out. I got my self unstruck by pulling the E-brake about half way up to load the rear and it was enough to move on, I wasn't getting out of my car inside the car wash. LOL

                            No one behind be but if their was they would of been sprayed , thats for sure.LOL It was F'ing loud being inside the little tunnel, no wonder other people besides the employee from inside came out.LOL Just freaked me out when it starts to sway side to side, I could just imagine hitting one of the rear side panels against the wall. Would of been a sad day. I cut back this 6 months to just liability only so next 6 months will be full comp plus an extra $10,000 value added when I get the turbo on.

                              I think someone poured trans-x in the car wash machine.
