Running MIC hard top through car wash?

[Carbon Bronco]

This is the only product I wash my Bronco with. I can't stand those aggressive brushes and neither can my steed.

I love that.

Tonight, we ride.

...actually, we don't. Still waiting. 900+ days.

...next year, we ride.

I have a 4 door OBX, hard top, with about 6000 miles. Had it ceramic coated shortly after I got it. Ran it through the cash wash to look for leaks. Passenger window, I adjusted the stops as recommended here, no more leaks. Hand wash when I can but still run it through once a month. No issues.

I’ve had my BL for over a year and regularly go through brush washes. Probably 3 per month. I get mine muddy all the time, inside and out and I don’t want to baby it. I have yet to see or have any issues.

A contributing factor is that mine is Cactus Grey and doesn’t show the micro scratches that the car wash likely gives. If I had a dark color, I might be more careful.

My last car was a black Jaguar and showed those micro scratches but a home paint correction cleaned it back up fairly easily.

Wait the bronco wildtrak mentions not to go to car washes ?????

That's what @Less11 Said.

We have a sticker telling us not to do it, and to “only go” thru a hand wash or a touch less car wash.

It's built FORD TOUGH, not car wash tough! That's like milspec on steroids, man.

Where’s this “sticker” that was mentioned? I haven’t seen one on mine.

There is no problem with taking the Bronco hardtop through a standard car wash. Anyone who says differently is saying so because there are better ways to preserve the finish, not because the top can't handle it. They are right, there are better options, but it's not because the top can't handle it.

But do you feed it regular hay or premium?

Gone through a brush wash 100+ times.

My wife actually busted me for not wanting to go through a brush wash

"You paid X for an offroad vehicle you actually offroad and the brush wash is what's going to ruin your paint?"

Hmm touche

You should never ever LOOK at any vehicle.

I speak a little Spanish and that translates to "The Car Wash", just in case anyone is wondering

I always make an effort to say “mucho” to all my Spanish friends….
It means a lot to them

My Bronco is not so delicate…….maybe yours is.
There are a couple of threads on here bragging about how they scratch the shit out of their Bronco’s while they are off-road. Wouldn’t surprise me if these same folks won’t use anything but a brushless car wash.

I've had the Bronco for about a month and have run it through the auto wash about 3 times.
And yes, it has brushes. Crucify me.
Anyway, there have been no leaks or anything out of the ordinary.
I just fold the mirrors in and let it rip.
This is on my Sasquach OBX with MIC equipped with the factory roof rack.
Ony difference is I swapped out the old whip antenna for a stubby one.
