Car wash won't wash my cybertruck

[Tecyber1]

I have washed my truck at many standard drive thru car wash tunnels, no issues at all, ever. Also never been told we can’t wash it.

Last time I went through the car wash (3 days ago) they tried very hard to sell me the monthly plan... But I don't really want it. The carwash has no problem with the truck, and it usually works very well.

I just drive in, put it in car wash mode, then tap to fold the mirrors, then reach up and touch neutral. This version does have brushes and also pulls the truck along. At the end, I tap the brake and touch drive and go. Very fast to do. No damage.

The first time I washed my truck I used my expensive Meguires car wash, dumping the normal couple of ounces in the bucket. That stuff is great for paint, with ingredients that work well for paint, but it leaves a scrum of those ingredients on the stainless that is - of course - not removed during the rinse. When finished, the truck looked worse than it did before I started.

Now, when the truck is dirty, I do this:
Heavy water spray to get all the major surface dirt/mud/other off, using a brush if needed. Then a few drops (no more!) of Dawn or other mild dish soap in a large bucket of water to scrub with the brush, rinsing immediately, and drying with a towel or chamois. Then I use Sprayway and a microfiber cloth to remove any remaining water spots or missed stuff. The whole job takes less effort than washing my old truck.

For normal road film, finger prints bugs and such, I just go over the truck with a microfiber cloth and Sprayway - very quick and effective.

For really tough spots I use Bar Keepers Friend, but it is rarely needed.

I dread the "soft touch" brushes with any car or truck, I had a membership at a local touchless wash, but have been very satisfied with just a high pressure rinse and Sprayaway for the CT.

Basic soap and water does a great job.

I often use a manual car wash with the foaming brush. The warmer water and soap tend to easily remove any fingerprints.

For drying, a squeegee makes it easy.

Thank yall for this info!

Jumping the rail may be one as mentioned, but if the car wash uses brushes are hanging strips, they may be catching in some of the areas and damaging their equipment.

I have had the rubbery brushes break off at the corner of my tailgate twice. About 2 inches long. Once they had to stop the machine because I was holding onto the wheel and. Car wash mode doesn’t lock the rear wheels (I suggested that car wash mode be changed but no one responded). Now once the front wheels align I let go.
