Right now it is really cold(~10-30*F) so i've gone through the automatic carwash a few times recently, then off to my heated garage so it won't freeze up. The carwash has one of those undercar sprayers when you drive into the bay......I was just thinking about the opti tonight(uh oh!) and that it could have damaged it. Nothing is out of the ordinary YET....and i don't want it to be...........stop the auto wash??? Or nothing to worry about??

 

No experience with it...wouldn't trust an auto car wash, but I'd quit it.

 

I'll never go through an auto car wash with my car

 

stay out of them IMO. i made this mistake when i first got my car and it did get the opti wet......not good. about a $300 mistake

 

I use one all the time, never had any problems.

 

Yeah..but in NJ all you have to do is have a WOP with you and you'll never have to worry about anything.

Oh yeah, this is still PC coming from a full blooded Italian, so don't get your panties in a bunch.

 

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA funny thing.... i work at a car wash...just for working their and knowing the things i know about automatic car wash i never take my f-body through it lol.....id say that u should nto go through it again.not just for the fact of the opti..

 

NOOOOOOO!!!!

 

I use'em too... I just tell them to give me the service that doesnt include the under body wash

and it wont hurt most likely, i mean even it does... doesnt ur car ever drive through the rain? ur wheels throw up water all over the engine bay probably

 

Yeah, but those brushes are hard as hell on paint..

 

Yea, I used the brushes for a while......... until I saw a guy pull up in a truck, pull 3 toilets out the back, and begin to scrub them with the brush. Never again. I've been going through the automatic wash for about 2 months now with no problems, although I cant be sure this one sprays underneath your car.
