Any of you bring your Corvette to a automatic car wash? I saw a blue C4 go threw one yesterday, older Corvette or not I felt bad for the poor car. Personally I would never bring any of my cars into one of those.

Blue Demon Owner 07-29-2009, 08:01 AM From my 2008 "Getting to Know Your Corvette" Manual: Car Wash Guidelines: Automatic car washes are not recommended. Some automatic car washes will cause damage to your vehicle, wheels, or convertible top, if equipped. If you drive your vehicle through an automatic car wash that does not have enough clearance for the undercarriage and/or wide rear tires, you could damage your vehicle. Verify with the manager of the car wash that your vehicle will fit before entering the car wash. To avoid possible damage, use touchless automatic car washes. See Section 5 of your Owner Manual That about covers it! :cheers: REVERHART74 07-29-2009, 08:01 AM Uh, No! Uncle Tom 07-29-2009, 08:47 AM C6's are way to low anyway. The bottom end would be torn off the car. We'll depending on the car wash. Personally no way for me! Sword 07-29-2009, 11:13 AM I wouldn't take any of my cars through an automatic car wash. I wouldn't even let most people wash my cars my hand. nitsud'svette 07-29-2009, 07:33 PM I own a M5 Laserwash "Touch free Automatic", I would take my corvette threw a touchfree automatic but not a regular brisle wash, there is a lot of difference in a touchfree and a automatic wash, the touchfree laserwash does'nt touch your vehicles surface and does a great job washing, but not thing beats a hand wash using the two bucket method with grit guards! snowmanmdp 08-01-2009, 05:08 AM :rofl: No way!

Brennan 08-07-2009, 07:41 AM I've done it once and felt horrible. BlazingC5 08-07-2009, 08:49 AM I've done it once and felt horrible. ...just to make sure, we're still talking about car washes right?:rofl: Waldo 08-08-2009, 06:11 AM C4 might be able to get away with it because of how high it is off the ground, C6's you can't way to low to the ground. Plus I wouldn't bring my car or any car into automatic car was. :thumbsup: brocky3 08-08-2009, 07:14 AM Don't know of any car wash that isn't going to leave some light scratches. Definitely not worth it!! | |
