i have a 2005 convertible.. is it ok to take it to a car wash place or would it mess up the top (the high air pressure)... ?

thanks in advance..

 

i dont have a drop top...but i will offer this when going somewhere to have your car cleaned,

make sure its a hand wash car wash....do go thru the machines they can scratch up the car ......

i have not seen the guys were i got use air, they use tape to clean the roof......

 

actually the place i took my old car to are machine car wash..and yeah the air is very hard, it used to dry out the car in like 15 seconds or so...

 

I have an 05 vert and would never take it thru an auto car wash, and do yourself and your top a favor and get a ragg top kit to give it a good cleaning and coat of protectant

 

I would not even try it....

 

Owners Manual say not to.

 

do it your self you lazy bastard! lol/jk

But seriously, don't let one of those carwash jockeys touch your car!

 

Car wash??? Seriously, if you care about the finish on your car, do it yourself. Automatic car washes are the worse and could leave you with some nice scratches courtesy of the bozo who can through in a big 4X4 with mud!
The ones where you drive and use their high pressure water guns, could damage your paint if you spray too close to the body AND could cause some unwanted water to leak into the compartments in your car.

Get yourself some MicroFiber towels and some car wash soap like Meguire's or Turtle Wax(not dish detergent) and go for it!
