How well has this held up with car washes? I see the Boyo website says to not use a car wash or pressure washer with this unit?

I'm not sure about pressure washing, would not advise that. I have gone thru several car washes with no problems. I have put it thru some brutal winter conditions also and so far it has held up great.

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

It has not been a problem at all. This is far better a backup camera than the other two I've had. I've put it through the car wash 2 or 3 times.

It should be fine with automatic car washes. Road salt in Pennsylvania doesn't seem to harm it. Seems like a tough coating that holds up.

I'm not sure if it was designed to work with a pressure washer. I use it for car detailing and I do not use a pressure washer and it works fine.

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, but no aftermarket accessories are advised. I've run mine through the car wash a dozen times without consequence.

I had mine through winter and it held up well. I also washed it a lot though

Mine has held up fine! We have one on my daughter's bed and it was there during overnight potty training, so it has been washed a lot. No problems.

About the car wash. I have not tried it. Am afraid the lashes will get tangled up. I am washing the mini by hand. Not hard to do

You need to be careful when washing the car with this PW. Dont get the pressure nozzle too close to the body as you may chip off the paint especially in the non metal areas.

I have used the sprayer at the car wash but have not tried the drive through wash. I thought I read somewhere where you weren't supposed to take it through a car wash. For me, I won't take the chance unless the manufacturer states that it could.

If you are looking for a powerwasher, this is not it. great for car washing.

You would probably want to get something more powerful for that. I was using this in my garden and honestly never used the stronger settings.....I couldn't say for sure.....it may be a little bit light for doing what you want. You could always do something like that at a manual car wash....I know the pressure on those is really strong and they have good reach.

I've had 2 of them. One on a Nissan frontier and current one on a full size ford. Never had an issue with water either from rain or car wash.

I think it will survive the automatic wash rollers. This is made of rubber. I did not try my car in this environment yet. So far I think this is one of the better protection front frame in the market.If your car wash can break this frame, stop going there!

Hi my friend, tell me about it!!! Worst product! Had the same problem with my new car. I finally took it to a car wash, and used a wand. By getting it wet, it became soft and pliable, allowing me to grab pieces at a time and tear it off. A lot of it peeled off just from the high water pressure. Sad product! It still takes time, but it will come off. Good luck!

I haven't used it to wash a car, but I imagine it would work just fine. You just hook one end of the filter up to the hose, and the other to the sprayer head. Has normal water pressure and everything.

I hand wash my truck but have used a self service car wash have even used the soft brush feature. I would not go through an auto car wash. This is the second topper I have bought and like them a lot.
