We've got a brushless automatic near the house that you drive into and sit while it washes your truck. I really only go there for the underbody blast. It really does a good job on the bottom and rocker panels/wheels. Nice to keep the salt and nastiness off the undercarriage during the winter months. I think that's really important with these trucks.......

A new car wash opened up down the street and saw an ad for it a few weeks ago. The ad said they can do dually's and work trucks so I pull in there and flag the owner down and he says the Rap will fit. Tracks are wider than most and did a decent job,chamois no brushes. I'd rather hand wash it but it'll be good for those quick washes.

...and when I buy gas, I get .08 off each gal of gas I buy when I select car wash.

They told me that the Rudy's here on the NW side of Austin was the 1st to implement this new style of car wash which uses unused heated water! ;-) They said it cost them $600k and was the prototype for other stores. All I know is that the truck fits nicely in the wash and dry bays...

Took mine to a place in fort collins today that said it would fit.. The height fit.. the tires actually fit the track.. but the tires were to big and heavy and the rollers couldn't push it about half way through because of the brushes pushing the front of the truck, the car behind me kept going so they rammed into my big ass hitch. Car wash took responsibly and gave me a refund and now have to fix the hole in the ladies bumper behind me.
