New AV owner looking for carwash

[amatlock]

Hi All,

Our AV is a week old today and while having our Viper Security/Remote Starter and Rear Sensors installed got hit by a dust storm.

Is it ok to run it through a carwash? If yes, any suggestions here in the East Valley?

Thanks in advance and hope I posted on the right forum section,

Unlike most of the fanatics around here, I don't fuss a lot with any of my vehicles when it comes to washing and waxing. That being said, I always get compliments on how nice they look. I wash often, but at a high pressure spray hand car wash. Lots of extra spot free rinses when it gets dusty. I don't touch it with a cloth any more than I have to. You'd be amazed at how good it looks only having been hand washed twice in over a year. Much as I like it I won't be a slave to it.
BTW, same goes for the Wife.

BTW, congrats on your purchase and Welcome!

See if you can find a brushless car wash. They do a relatively good job without scratching. Usually after the AV comes out of the wash I wipe it off with a towel. Doesn't take long at all.Herb

Hello... and welcome to the club!

Check out this thread on wash & wax for AVs actually under the detail section you will find many good threads and advice depending upon your time and skill level.

For a brand new AV, I would personally hand wash it with soft clot. I saw that Klasse also makes a top coat for going over their AIO. It is designed to protect new paint, too. You might want to give that a look, too.

Hey on the east Valley go to Arizona Auto Wash in Chandler, Warner and Alma School.... the manager is a member of the club

I take my Av there basically once a week.... Also they are a handwash... so no worries about brushes damaging the AV...

Although today they will be closed to to the rain storm we are having

Amatlock,

IF you look at azautowash's web page linked to earlier you can find discount pages to print so it is almost half price. I have had my wife Minvan and my Avalanche done. The works for just about $10.00 and they do a good job. I normally wash by hand but running late to the GTG last night so I stopped by and they did a good job.

I also have used the Mr. Clean's new spotless auto wash and it seems to work pretty good here isn AZ.

Good luck and Welcome to the club.
