Backup Sensors & Automatic Car Washes?

In the instruction booklet for the backup sensors it says not to use pressurized water on them or it could mess them up. I was wondering about whether or not an automatic carwash would mess them up?

Anyone had any experience?

NEVER I MEAN NEVER!!!!!!! NEVER GO THROUGH A CAR WASH!!!! they recycle the water in car washes, that means the dirty muddy jeep that just came from off roading in front of your ridgeline is going to be using the same water your going to be using even one of those brushless car washes, i wish i took a picture of my old car before i turned it in, it had tons of scratches on it from going through the car wash (i got lazy) i would never take my ridgeline in a car wash (i need to find something to do in the winter when all the salt and sand gets on my truck)

And.... the high power dryer has a really bad habit of wanting to rip the high mounted rear taillight panel off the back of the truck. If the body clips don't break, it'll pop back on. But the plastic piece that covers those bolts costs $14.

I've had the back-up sensors for at least two years and have not had any problems going thru car washes or using a (not too) high pressure washer on them.

My old Nissan Titan had backup sensors and I never had a problem with car washes, I think you'll be fine.

Well your sensors will be fine, I don't know about your paint :p

I have been using one of the newer car wash places for over a year now on my other car and haven't had any problems with scratches or anything else.

I used to be concerned about scratches, but as my car got older, I was less concerned, got lazy and started using one on a regular basis (every 2 weeks).

After a year, I haven't had any scratches.

Also, those car washes are eco friendly. The good ones filter the water (precious resource) and keep all the soap from getting into the rivers.

I'd stay away from older ones, but the new ones near me seem fine.

I have to agree, I've been useing SuperSonic sense day 1 and have not noticed any scratches or blemishes caused by them:D They did a great detail job for me when they noticed I had over-spray on my RL:eek: It is very time consumeing and a lot of hard work. Truckin' and I did it once and I knew I did'nt want to do it again. It was well worth the money:cool: But to each his own.

I've yet to see a problem using a "Good" car wash.

I have three near by and two of them I'd never use because of the condition and age of their equipment. The furthest away is well maintained and their equipment is upgraded periodically. "Works and Wheels" is $22.

They only thing I don't like is they ductape the bed rails. I suppose they ripped off a few.
