Z through car washes

Mike S.

I love auto carwashes. Dont hate, my G (with scrach sheild paint) has been through hundreds of times and looks great!

At any rate, any problems with running a Z through because of ground clearance?

I'm talking to you Kenchan! You know which one I go to.

If I really, really had to do it, I would run it through a touchless carwash. I would be scared about my rim being scratched though. There was a warning stick on my car warning me not to take it through the carwash because it will damage the spoiler. So, if I did not want to wash it myself, I just pay extra to get it hand washed.

it's hard not to when you're considering running a Z THROUGH A CARWASH...

Just sayin'

I clean my own car... it always looks awesome because no slouch in a car wash is going to pay as much attention to detail as me.

If you absolutely have to, go touchless. But I'd love to see pictures of your G looking "great" after hundreds of express car washes.

Touchless is fine depending on the bump stop things that keep you in place while inside the machine.

I would just walk over to it before driving through just to make sure.

Drive-Thru Car Wash??? You mean Drive-Thru-Sheet-Metal-Destroyer, right?

LOL

I'm too low to make it in one of those so I don't even bother.

I drive a roadster, so unless I want to experience Niagara Falls inside my Z.....

For me the Z is spooky low and its rims are WAY too exposed to risk even a touchless car wash. All of the car washes that I've seen lately have some sort of guide or track on the floor and no way am I risking my sport package rims in that environment. But a touchless wash without a track or guide would probably be ok.

I only wash the car every few weeks but I clean it with detail spray a couple of times a week. It only takes 10 minutes and the car always looks great.

I bring my Z throught a car wash, but not for long. As soon as its is repainted and new wing goes on it will not go in again. I have the sport wing on now and have no problems. The nismo wing does have a warning about no going throught a car wash. Any wing biger than the sport wing I would not suggest it. I have had no issues with the Z in the car wash in about 60 washes.
