Useless rant

Lazy. Have never ran mine through a car wash for 4 years as stated clearly in the manual. Get it dirty and muddy and have to get on your back to clean underneath, then you can bitch and rant over.

Car wash place doesn’t want to assume responsibility and higher insurance rates so they can stay competitive with other car washes. Respect the business owner.

Those days are long over for me. Too many pins and plates in my spine. Hence my little rant

Got a son, nephew, niece or neighbor kid who wants to earn $10, @tmd11111? You can supervise!

I’ve had my ‘18 CC since early November and have been washing it at local drive through car wash since new a couple of times a month. It fits but barely and has never been an issue. Today I went by and while waiting in line the guy who runs it came out and said management no longer allows Raptors. Says one of them tore up the guide rails on the right side. He apologized profusely and gave me a hand full of tokens for my wife’s Stang. Gotta say, washing a truck by hand sucks ass.
Useless rant over.

LOL, they are big beasts when it comes to washing for sure! I had to use a stepladder with my King Ranch, going to have to do the same for the Raptor...

Had mine 6 years. Washed and waxed 12 times. Should have bought white, it doesn't show it.

LOL, my 2013 Platinum was Tuxedo Black and the 2016 KR was Shadow Black...Shadow showed dirt and spider webs much worse. All done with black trucks now!

Step ladder? I can reach everything by standing in the bed and on the front tires.

Got this platform. Makes washing and changing the oil much easier.

Yes, have 2 of them I've had for almost 10 years. One on each side by the door and I can reach all of it.

Thanks guys, I may just have to pick that up as the step ladder I'm always reaching/bending over it and one day it's going to go over!

I guess I am lucky. I have 2 boys 18 and 6. One washes the high stuff the other washes the lower. I would say they are cheap but I still have to feed them.
