    The water they use in the do-it-yourself car washes is as scary as the rocks and dirt caught up in the brushes.

    Thanks guys.

    I usually only run through them when I'm coated with mud and its all caked underneath. I've never had a problem with them before either, I even used this exact car wash a couple months ago without an issue. This time I used their super duper mud blaster level and for some reason it decided to rape me....

    Should hear back from the owner and insurance sometime today.

    That mud blaster program probably puts the arms closer to the vehicle for more water pressure. Obviously, they have issues.

    I run mine through one from time to time but I don't really like doing it. I bought an aluminum shorty antenna that lasted one day before I ran it though the car wash. It bent it almost 90 degrees.

    People going through there muddy as hell is the EXACT reason I don't use public car washes. :jester:

    The only car washes I'll use are the "Touchless" Car washes and even that's rarely. Mostly in the Winter when it's too cold to do it yourself.

    Yeah, this one doesn't have any brushes or anything. Just wands that go around the vehicle spraying it. I thought I was safe...:suicide:

    guess you know what mud they are talking about blasting :crazy: lmao, sorry, just had to make light of it real quick. hope the insurance goes in your favor. the fact that you had been there prior (if you have the receipt) should help that this was an isolated incident and they should pay for your repairs...
