Does the classic edition withstand a car wash without bending the license plate?

Hi: I hand wash my car so I couldn't tell you if it would or not for sure. My opinion is that it would not as the plate is screwed in on 4 places with the bumptek then is over it. If you bought it from bumptek, you could ask the same question and see what they say. They are a good company to work with as they answered all of my questions and wanted me to be happy with their product.

The only problem that I have had after 12 years is that if you tighten the straps too hard, it may slightly bend the metal where the hooks meet the car, but so far, no scratches.

My vehicle has a plaque/mount for the license plate. It is made out of stainless steel so it won't bend easily, might stick out on the sides if you tried it. Which could start charging the paint.

Hi Larry. The way this is designed I can't possibly see how a car wash could hurt it. It bolts to the underside of the front crossbar and actually sits tight against it while providing adequate height to make the license plate visible. I actually used a license plate holder so the top of the plate is supported by the plate holder with the bottom holes of the plate and plate holder attached to Westin plate relocator. It is working extremely well!

Yes. It is porcelain coated and therefore resistant to rusting. Good car must still be taken with it, or the porcelain coating can crack and peel.

The car washes didn't bother it. It got dirty though. It had a bit of stick on it and it would catch dirt. I would clean it with a little gasoline on a cloth.

We've had ours on our 2013 Fit for almost a year and have never removed it for any reason. We've never had an issue with mildew or dampness at all. We even have our Fit washed at the local car wash with no problems. You may have to wipe around it sometimes and we also put Armor-All on it to keep it looking new.

Yes. I think so. I have had 6-8 car washes since I had these on. No problems with them.

My sense is that it will survive the automatic car washes because the material is a flexible plastic and is not a rigid material. However, I haven't used an automatic car wash in years.

Have gone thru several different types of car washes. The rolling bristle brushes, brushless clothe type and even the by hand type washes and have yet to encounter a problem,

I've had it for about 1-1 1/2 years and I do tell them before they wash it...not to spray the license plate frame...the one time they did not listen to me I lost one crystal...thankfully I found it and was able to reapply it...other than that it is holding up great...still looks brand new and I get lots and lots of compliments on it...I Love It! Hope this was helpful to you!

Handles car washes great I run it through a car wash once a week and no issues may bend back a little of move to the side but can always be adjusted

I drive highway all the time with mine with no issues. I also go through the car wash once a week with no issues.

Yes... I had it in my other car and traded it in... It looked just as good as the day I put it on. I go through car washes at least twice a week. That's why I am putting it on my new car :)

To tell you the truth!, I don't know. All I know is that I live in Albuquerque,NM and we've had our share of bad weather, and my license plate cover is still as shiny as the day I bought it. I'm really pleased with it and it's a classy piece.

You would think so, but in the couple years I've had mine, it has stayed damp with no mildew. I do spray it down with the high pressure hose as I wash my car to keep it clean.

The bottom is flat , and the adhesive is very strong. It will withstand a car wash, but make sure you move the head down towards the windshield.
