Can these visors be used in a car wash? Bought another brand which warns against using in a car wash.

I saw no such warnings in the documentation. They are affixed firmly so I would imagine they would hold up. I might have even taken my E through a car wash since installing them. Either way, I'd chance it.

I did with no problems. I think the hooks hold it in place. And my windows were rolled entirely up.

You can, they are screwed to the car. But I would not recommend it as it'll get small scratches and they get blind this way over time.

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

I have taken mine through a car wash with no problems. They seem to be sturdy. Hope this helps! Cheers

Be careful with Oakley, they are the only goggles that cannot be touched or cleaned with water. Would not recommend.

Yes. I have washed mine by hand and also been thru several car washes. No problems whatsoever. Love this light. Looks real good especially at night time

I think they'd be OK. They are kind of a seat belt type material, so they might not dry fast. But, I cannot say for certain, as I have never needed to wash mine.

In my SUV yes. This is why I don't use it permanently.If one keeps the visors between the windshield an the mirror it limits the mirror's adjustment for optimal viewIt also depends on the size and mounting of the visors. Many users are very happy wit it

No, you take the painted ones off and snap these back on. I used two face mounting tape as insurance they will stay on and have gone through the car wash many times without a problem.

I have not tried Rain-X on plastic shields. THE LABEL STATES: DO NOT USE on plastics unless pre-approved by the manufacturer of the plastic to be treated. Do not use on or allow product to contact painted surfaces, non-clear surfaces trated with anti-reflective, scratch resistant or other coatings.- There is a car wash that is termed AUTO DRYING that tends to make the water run off the car body, similar to what Rain-X does to glass that should be ok to use on plastic visors. Look in the car wash soap section at the store and read the label.Also, the motorcycle shops carry something that should take care of what you want to do. I have not tried Rain-X on plastic shields.

I use these for many different chores, around the house and the car. They hold lots of water and clean very well. No, I would not use them on car rims, that get so dirty, though I am sure they would clean well. Depends on how often you clean your rims and how dirty they get. Brushing of some sort usually work best on rims. They hold lots of water and I find micro-fiber cleans better than any other rag, but I do agree that cotton, faux chami cloth or real chami, work best for drying.

Haven't ran mine through a car wash yet, but I have driven through about 8" of rain since putting it on. Don't see how the car wash would be worse than a downpour going 60+mph. The stick tape goes around the edges and several in the middle plus you bolt the windshield tie down through the back of it so it is on there pretty good. Just give it at least 24 hours to cure before you wash it per the instructions that came with it.

I didn't have a problem. I washed my car before putting them on and I would advise that. The material that these are made of won't really scratch your care unless you are careless with the buckles. Like I said though if you put these on a dirty care the dirt between the racks and the roof could certainly be abrasive and harm your car's finish. The hold tight enough to not move so even then it shouldn't be a big deal. I was a little worried about putting them back on after being at the beach for a week (sand and salt) but my finish was fine.

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

Yes. I wash mine regularly to keep them clean and ready for the next time I polish and wax my cars.

Sorry, but I haven't tried. I always wash them by hand, which I feel is far better when dealing with smaller items. Based on the apparent quality, it should be OK, but this is speculation.

I would not suggest it, the weight would render your visor unusable. The visor would not stay in the up position and aside from the inconvenience I could also foresee a safety concern.

I use them for buffing off wax and wouldn't trust any other microfiber on my paint. I occassionally even use it for drying/wiping off (when I don't have access to a fan blowing the water off the car.) As for washing, I've never used it for that so can't comment. I'd recommend buying a wash mitt for that purpose.

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!!

I'm not sure I have not taken it in a handsfree car wash. I had one on a truck one time that broke off when I went through the car wash. So I probably would not take the chance.
