can you run it through a car wash

My mom has (I let the rain take care of it) but her van mirrors fold to the sides, so these mirrors are safely tucked in, too. She also lets the guy manning the car-wash know she is worried they might fall and they take extra care with them. So far no issues for her.

At first I was afraid to. However, I gone through two different car wash places many times without a single problem. I have not turned my mirror in prior to the wash either, however I think it would be an extra safety factor for the mirror to turn it in close to the car. I could not drive without it now! Great mirror!!

Brushless car washes would be ok. I would not go thru a brush wash unless the mirrors were folded in.

My husband says yes you can. He has been through the car wash at least 3 times and it is fine.

I wash the trunk with soap each time I use it and run it in the dish washer every couple of days. This is clean by my standards.

NO. I have used Dri Wash for several years and never had any problems. I never use water to wash my show car...just Dri Wash and wax.

I like mine but I purchased it for my chickens and garden. No experience with washing cars. Should work well. Plenty of flow.

You can run the engine for a very short time without the pump being hooked up to water, but it is not recommended. It is always best to have the pump hooked up to water source when starting the engine.

I don't know for sure but I don't see any reason why you can't. You put the smelly wash in the detergent receptacle run your hottest cycle for 2 minutes then you shut it off and let it set all night. The next morning you turn back on to complete cycle. To keep it smelling fresh use it once a month run a complete cycle. If you can use it in a dishwasher you probably could use it. Hope this helps. love this for my front loader and my daughter loves it for her washer.

It's great for washing aluminum wheels, but be careful with painted wheels. As to washing a car, the answer is yes, but also be careful. Make sure you use a nozzle that doesn't concentrate the spray too much. The unit comes with a spread nozzle that fans out the spray to about a 30 degree angle. I'd use that. Also, don't get too close to the car. I'd keep the spray about 12 to 18 inches away from the paint. As they say with most of these things, do a little test on an inconspicuous part of the car. A power washer can do a nice job getting a lot of the dirt off the car, but some good old fashioned elbow grease is the safest way to get a heavily soiled car clean. Hope this helps.

We use ours in our shop for car washing and hand washing. You will have to wait if you run it out but it recovers quickly. Works great for us.

I did not have mine running when I discharged some of the contents of the can into the washer. You only need a little of the contents so it can be used more then once.

Pretty sure you can. This wash was gentle on my car that I had to use a sponge with it to get all the dirts away but it makes the job easier. I do believe this is the best for some quick and easy wash that you wouldn't want to re-wax the whole car every time.

I did not use soapy water. I used a claybar lubricant (Chemical Guys brand). In my case, I washed and dried the car, then used the lubricant only. After a complete claybar treatment, I used a microfiber rag to wipe down the car (actually did it as I went), then applied a wax (actually NuFinish).I imagine you can use the claybar with soapy water, but the lubricant is a very different chemical than the soap and does not need to be rinsed off.

I have not tried it in automatic car wash, but to me it looks like it would not be a problem. It is very well made and looks to be colorfast. I would not hesitate to use one, but I have a power washer at our shop that I use. So have not tried it. However, it is very easy to remove and put back on, I would just remove it and wash by hand if worried. Glenda

I have not used it in a car, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I use it on furniture fabric, carpeting, and on just about anything that is washable. My daughter's cat peed on a throw rug and I sprayed the rug with Fission before I washed it and the smell and stain were gone. The same with the carpet - my husband spilled a mug of coffee on my light colored carpet and after cleaning it and treating with Fission - no stain and no smell. Can't tell it ever happened. Truly the best product I have ever used!!!

I have had the unit washed several times by Ford dealers car wash after services and so far no problems.

I'm guessing your question is about car washing. Technically yes, but there is a special nozzle for soap application. Suction from the soap tanks is independent of nozzle selection. Applying soap with one of the high pressure nozzles would probably not be very effective as it is likely to rebound from the surface before it has a chance to work. If you're talking about algaecide for siding, a medium pressure nozzle is probably a better choice.

Yes. I use it in the winter time to wash mild accumulations of dirt and road salt off my 911 and BMW. Follow the directions -- don't rub hard to avoid scratches and then lightly buff the area dry with a clean cloth. Use two towels at all times and change them out if they get too soiled (the cleaning one) or too wet (the drying one). Good product.
