Those of you who have a truck
 

Do you put it through the automated car wash or clean it yourself?

One of our neighbors decided to drop concrete and rocks on the street to fix the potholes, but didn't give any consideration to all the neighborhood vehicles that were parked so they're all covered in concrete dust.

I'm too lazy to wash it by hand, so was thinking of a drive-thru car wash, any experiences with them as a truck driver? Good idea? No?

This is so New Orleans... I know Reddit had become a snowflake haven, but I'd like to recommend its subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans/

You should NEVER put your car through an automated car wash, it ruins the paint :2 cents:
I wash my cars with pressure washer + active soap.

^ Good advice. Those bristles leave swirl marks.

I usually wash it by hand, the problem is this concrete dust is starting to set as its been a day or two so was thinking as a one-off a automatic car wash with those brushes might be able to get it off the windshield and paintwork better than my spending 2+ hours scrubbing it will :Oh crap

I've seen potholes filled with Mardi Gras beads and now this...

Concrete won't set without water and mixing, Just pressure wash it off, you won't even need to scrub.

Private road.

i cunt a4da truck... :(

I've run mine through a few over the years but mainly hand wash myself.

I ended up finding one of those jet wash places and after $2 and 5 minutes got all the shit off without having to run it through an actual car wash :thumbsup

I take mine to the dealer to wash.

wtf?

Rolls Royce or Lambo truck?

some person filled the pot holes on your street, and you're complaining about the dust?

My truck doesn't fit in automatic car washes. Roof rack on top of a fiberglass cap.

Your reading comprehension level must be lower than that of Lawrence Connor and Paul Markham's if that is what you took from my posts content :helpme

If it were simply 'dust' there would not have been an issue.

Weird flex but ok

When my fucking car gets fucking dirty, I fucking trade it in for a new fucking car! Jesus fucking christ!

Same here, when I bought it they offered free oil changes and car washes for life :)

I have an older Acura that my kids already destroyed the paint job on last winter when they realized that the snow (with mud in it) melted really fast on the black hood with the sun on it. They continued to swirl snow all over the hood scratching the paint. Now when it needs to be cleaned they break out the hose and sponges and clean it for me. It's not like they can do anymore damage (famous last words) to it and it's paid off so I don't really care.
