I could not wash my new SSR in an automatic car wash, after trying two, the first night I got it home. Anyone know why?
I picked up my redline at a dealer about three hours away Thursday night. Less than halfway home I HIT A HAILSTORM!!! I rushed for the first underpass I could get to, but by then I'd driven through 1/2 mile of pelting. I couldn't detect any damage with all the rain and then as I drove into dry, it was too filthy.
Arriving home after midnight I was exhausted (couldn't sleep the previous night excited about my new truck), but I knew I wouldn't sleep till I washed it to view any damage.
Both auto car washes failed me. As I drove up to the bumper the "stop" light never came on and the wash never did anything but the underside as I approached. I was terrified I might have been hit by the wash arm at first, but it just never moved. The two washes are completely different, but neither worked. I expect to wash it by hand from now on anyway, but I am curious why this happened. And how can I get my stinkin' $9.50 back?
By the way...the body is fine...whew!
