The wife was getting the SUV washed at Mike's car wash. There was a thunderbird soft top convertible going through. I was always under the assumption that convertibles can't go through these. The wife asks the worker there and they said there is a setting for convertibles that protects the top. Is the wife getting a load of cr** or is this true?

 

To be fully honest no car is safe in a tunnel wash. These places are all paint job killers, some being much worse then others. If you can't wash your vehicle at your house you should always find a place that has a touchless wash system. I have gotten a lot of work fixing damage caused by car washes.

 

Agreed. Soft cloth my ****.

 

She'll be getting a paint job in the next couple years anyway, I was just wondering if the "special settings" for convertibles was true or not....seems like hooey to me, but with advances in everything with electronics and such, I guess it's not far fetched.

 

I have never heard of a 'convertible top' car wash setting ....

 

With today's carwash tech, they do have settings for soft tops, I get mine washed there often (Now it's Crew here in Indy). There is also a setting for the "Gatling Guns" that if not lowered, can blast the decals of the cars. Make sure they are using the right settings.

 

Thanks, good to know..I appreciate the input.
