^haha I wash my old crap I'm not afraid to get the raptor dirty but why not protect it and keep it as nice as you can. all my stuff looks like new when others are already in the junk yard...

I go to the hand car washes in bad neighborhoods. I'll use the pressure washer when it warms up, but its too cold for me to be washing my truck right now..

IMO if you have it protected prior to winter your better off leaving it dirty for 3 month's or more.

As per usual, I'm with Wilson. If you wanted a "trailer queen, boulevard pavement princess" YA BOUGHT THE WRONG TRUCK! and perhaps a Lightning is better for your purpose. It's a RAPTOR .. get it filthy, get it dirty, use it for what it was designed for!.
I have a thread here, somewhere, on my adventure with Ford Re: peeling decals, (one side only, I might add), and yes the gang here are correct, Ford insists NO auto or high pressure washes. In most users here case, they bought this unique vehicle for work or serious OFFROAD play. Use it, enjoy it and cut polish, wax, protect AFTER the fun. In my case the decals have been removed. I know its a Raptor and if Ford can't install a decal as tough as the truck to advertise for themselves then, yank em. {in Canada the "privilege" of the advertising will cost you a thousand bucks a side!}
My 2 bits.

Pictures of someone who took theirs through an automatic car wash. Very clear in the raptor supplement manual not to do this.

Get an Adams starter kit. Hot water in buckets at the car wash is a life changer.

^ he is talking wand car wash. I did this all the time before I purchased a pressure washer. works great
