Who you think does the best truck wash?

Nothing beats a hose, a bucket , a sponge a long handled broom, always reliable works every time.

 

Pressure washer.

 

When I have the time I wash mine with my pressure washer. If i'm in a hurry then Streakin Beacon does a good job depending on whos working and what time of the day it is.

 

I've had pretty good Luck at the Beacon in Kirkwood NY and Maybrook NY . Sometimes I have to point out some spots they miss.Ive had the worst experience at the truck wash at the back of the Petro in Waterloo NY .It's attached to the shop . They're always under manned ,sometimes only 1 guy washing your truck missing a bunch of areas,and they have a big guy there who tries to point out things that their shop could "Take Care of" as he's washing your truck . Took over an hour and a half to wash my truck and came inside to get me 3 times to point out things the shop could take care of. I guess they get commission on work they drum up. After the 3 rd time I told him,just wash the truck and don't worry about anything else . He looked like he was killling himself washing the truck ,but it came out like crap and with a lot of areas I made him go over . I gave him a tip but won't ever go back.
There used to be a good guy who had a little truck wash
At the old Scott 60 on 81 in PA . Randy's truck wash ,he washed trucks on an outdoor concrete pad and repaired tires. He did a good job,He was always liquored up and half in the bag with no shirt on but he did a nice job and brightened all aluminum and brushed everything. He was also a good tire man ,very quick and knew his stuff. The only thing I didn't like was that he always used starting fluid and a lighter to seat a tire that wouldn't seat on its own . He owned a Cheetah bead blaster ,but always liked
To light those tires up with that starting fluid. The drunker he was the more starting fluid he used ,I think he liked the explosions.I have too in an emergency ,but will always use a Bead blaster first if I had the choice.Randy was an old school red neck who heated his shack with a wood stove that used to glow red he got it so hot,and had to drink at least a case of beer a day and a couple of packs of cigarettes, hardly ever wore a shirt if it was above 60 degrees and couldn't do any road service because of his DUI's . I miss guys like that...Lol!

Never been hit by anybody, but do you think those people in that greyhound bus are going to get the same deal Tracy Morgan did

 

I usually only use 18 Wheeler. Unless I get out on the road. But the 18 wheeler is right on the other side of town from my parking spot, so I can usually get a wash when I get in and just take it across town and park it.

 

They’re good for cleaning frame or fifth wheel etc. Every time I tried to save money washing Truck always spend just as much and end up tired wet and dirty

 

Must be the ones that give them energy. Sad but true

 

The streaking Beacon at Petro in Hammond La. does a great job. Especially extra engine cleaning when I point it out.Very soft water in those parts gives a good rinse.
