Dually Automatic Carwash!!!
So on my way into work this morning I noticed that the new carwash that got built a couple months ago had this on their sign out front...

Next time I go back I will get out and get some better pictures, but here is a pic from the forward facing camera https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...b666d514f5.jpg It did a nice job though, and only took a couple minutes of my time instead of a half hour hand washing it. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...c78c166984.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...e0184c686a.jpg |
I guess all those anti-discrimination laws are really working!

To be fair this is in Indiana, not one of the coastal states. I'm sure some complaints have been lodged already though.

Man I wish someone around here would do a car wash like that. I don't have a dually, but even just my F250 doesn't fit through most washes. There's a touchless one around the corner that it kind of technically fits, but the wash job is lousy. The sprayer nozzles are only like an 1" off the truck, so it only cleans it in strips, leaving dirty strips in between the nozzles. And, the arm of the wash keeps smacking my antenna every time it passes.
But what are you going to do, it's way too cold to hand wash, and you've gotta get what you can of the salt off. |

Truck looks good, I’m down in Arizona right now they still have old school put in neutral pull your truck through brush washes, truck always comes out looking great for $10.

Would be nice to have one down here in SE Louisiana!

There is a dually compatible conveyor wash in the NW suburbs of Chicago: https://goo.gl/maps/UuhU1DXhavkKpdRC7
I don't know if their other locations in the Chicago area use the same wash system, but this is their website: https://paposexpress.com/ Here is a video of a dually on the wash conveyor system they use: Fortunately their location with the conveyor is only 10 minutes from my house :) |

The only places around here that will wash a dually are dealers who sell them, and body shops that do detailing to stay busy. Would love a shop like that here!
|
It did a good job for sure!
|
Jealous. We seem to have a gluttony of car washes here, but I haven't found one that will take a dually. All of them have the single wheel rail guides and not enough clearance to the blowers.
|
Loosing the ability to run through my favorite automatic truck was one of my big "cons" for getting a dually. There were many more Pro's but I like a clean truck and keeping it clean is gonna take time...9,000 lbs of metal to wash!
|
It's nice to have the option, especially on those cold days. I will still hand wash it when I have time as I'm OCD as hell, but the thought of no more frozen fingers made my day this morning! And it's in the parking lot of the grocery store I stop at for some morning fruit/coffee...super convenient.
