Car washes and tonneau covers

[Sean McGillicuddy]

Can the newer car washes handle bug deflectors and tonneau covers ?

I’ve got a roll up tonneau cover. I’ve gone to a touch less car wash and pick the deluxe without any wax or protectant. Working great.

I have used Mike's Carwash and have never had an issue with either one.

I’ve had 3 of the ABS Undercover Tonneaus. Been through countless car washes. Never picked one over the other b/c of type, brushless or the slap and whip spinning brushes. Never had a problem with any of them.

I had a Tyger tri-fold on my 2019 Classic, had auto carwashes and the blowers on it, never an issue.

What about a bug deflector ?

I have never had an issue with the bug deflector or tonneau cover.

Good to know...

Never had an issue with the Truxport tonneau.

Are those low profile bug deflectors effective?

Apparently I need bird and stone deflector too....

DANG, everytime I see dat ride, so nice and clean and clean lines.

No issue on Car Wash: BUT I will only do touchless, not need swirls also and I have full tonneau cover. More than not, just hand spray at wash and when I got an extra 4 hours, do by hand at house.

Thanks man! You got your rig looking pretty damn nice yourself!

I hear I try to do as much cleaning by hand as I can, but them damn winter months she’s visiting the car wash a little more often. Lol

I find the Red Beast stays pretty dirty. A lot of trees, dust blowing, pollen. SO when I do get to town, I almost always visit the spray wash, what's a few dollars to at least be nice to yer ride. I also find then $10.00 drive thru puppies not always do any better than stand there and spray, just more convenient. Also, my truck stays parked 98.5% of time, so it is a really nice, pretty, kewl riding "lowly" Bighorn that collects a lot of dirt. I keep getting Service Reminders from dealership, but heck, That truck might sit 5 days before even goes to town and back, 10 miles (The biggest reason I got rid of my ED and went to HEMI). If weather ok, and not too cold, for lil runs, I use my Motorcycle: Gotta move the oil on dat expensive ride also.

Mine pretty much gets driven every day, I just can’t go anywhere without her lol. She did get a few months of a break at the beginning of Covid **** as I was working from home. I’m back at the office now so she’s pretty much on the go every day now.
