    $40 is ok if it includes washing the engine, axles, inside the frame and a good coating of Rain X in the rinse.

    Basically does same thing that does on windows makes water bead up I personally like cuz it brings out the shine in the paint and depending on conditions dirt doesn't stick to it as fast

    I wash my contractors truck whenever I get back to the house.

    The best two washes I ever received was from Rafael's Truck Wash on LA I12 x42 across the street from the little truck stop for $40 and they have a trailer scrubber on rails to wash the trailer and I think it was Toms Brook Truck Wash in Toms Brook, Va at the Loves for $35. They even dried the truck :)

    Everyone else did a average job.

    They got the pressure washer working at my yard but all it's good for is to rinse off the loose dust and mud ofcourse nothing beats hand washed. Question, do all Pilot truck stops have a truck wash? That's the nearest truck stop to my yard.

    Most don't, but it seems like Blue Beacon follows Petro and Js all over the place.
