Downside to my 6" RCX lift

AV8B6015 · Aug 15, 2011

Now I have to wash my own truck since it won't fit at the automatic car wash place!!!!

Oh well, I guess that actually saves me a little money, plus I know I'll do a better job.

lol....the price you pay to play

nim81 · Aug 15, 2011

I wouldn't look at that as a downside really. I've never seen an auto wash that actually cleans worth a damn. Only good thing about em is the underspray but that is usually pretty shotty and really just gets stuff wet

i stopped using them when it scratched the whole side of my truck

Well the one I used to go to was a full service kind, and although the exterior was was pretty good (automated wash, hand dry), the interior cleaning is what I went for. Oh well, I just finished, the truck looks good and I saved $30. I'm going to tell my wife that the lift is already starting to pay for itself lol.

I like your way of thinking

Don't get me started on the joys of washing a lifted truck.

Lol
I have a hard enough time with mine and I only have a leveling kit on 34's. Guess I'm gonna have to get sky hooks when I eventually lift mine. Lol

Gotta love those RV sized wash bays!

I called before I drove down there and they said it was 6'7".
It's 7'2" to the top of my antenna, and just a hair over 7' to the roof.

My truck has never been through a machine since I owned it - I clean it myself or it stays dirty. Good way to look at it though...saving yourself $30!

Word.

Too busy playing WOW to wash your own truck huh?? hahaha

Musclemckeester · Aug 16, 2011

Well now I just feel like an ass. My bad bro.

That car wash doesn't really look too bad. Looks gentle at from the video at least.

I almost wish you guys could have seen the state of my truck Saturday morning. 75 minutes later (and 3 microfibers and a can of fukken) and it was one shiney ho.

that was a "clean" spot.

x2, i wish i could say i stopped going because of a lift, i only went a handful of times but i havent since i got my new rims because i dont want them to scratch them

Just use the touchfree washes. The ones with the spinny things collect the dirt in them and then scratch the hell out of everything.

When I worked at a dealership they had one to run cars through, most of them all got brought back to me in the detail area to get buffed out (salesman running them through trying to save time and not giving the customer a proper detail). The mechanics used it mostly for customers cars in for repairs.
I even had someone go power wash the thing every other week.
