washing cars w/ spoilers

just4kickz · 11-15-2006, 11:58 AM

So I know its like blasphemy to ask "whether its better to go to a handwash carwash or one of those regular drive-in carwashes" but I'm away from home and my apartment complex doesn't really have alot of room for me to wash my car, so I've resorted to going to the one handwashing carwash in my area... so for those with deckspoilers & roof spoilers-- do you thinking going to a handwashing carwash is okay?... i don't want to go through one of those... and then have some guy walk up to me with a piece of my car... telling me it fell off...

that would be embrassing.

I've run my car through a automatic drive-in car wash two or three times, I know I shouldn't, but sometimes it's all I have time for, and my ACS rep spoiler that is 3m taped on has had no issues. I check it occasionally to see how well it is still secured to the window. I betalinked my OEM trunk lid spoiler, so that should never be an issue.
