I always hand wash. Or the quarter spray just to do the under side. We got a new autowash here. Took my beater thru to try it out. Did a real nice job for 16 bucks. Inside and out. Even the windows and vacuum. Kinda nice to just get out at one end and then get back in and wham its done. Guy said the raptor would fit. No thanks.

What do you use to dry?

Cobra guzzler waffle weave towel or an electric leaf blower.

If you have a quality sealant or wax on the paint, there will be very little water left to dry if you finish with the sheeting method. Which is when you just let the water flow out of the hose, no nozzle, starting from top to bottom for the final rinse.

a drying towel. when I was mine, it mostly all just runs off though. depending on the type of water you use, you can even just let it air dry.

water where I live is a hard water so it will leave waterspots when it dries. I just go over it with a quick detail spray and a microfiber cloth and shes shiny as can be!

just look at the nice shine on this puppy

When I did not feel like washing it myself I took it to Classic Car Wash and had no real issues but I do believe Ford says no to taking it through a car wash. I would not recomend it after an off road trip because you are sure to get some scratches from them.
