Blue Beacon

My engine was as clean as any and he saw it. It’s a company truck with limited BB charge privileges. Basic Tractor Wash and Basic Reefer Washout only And he knows this, too

Now I would pay a little extra (no reimbursement) for a full and complete rinse but strangely that’s the one thing they don’t offer. I guess they prefer to sell the hand dry.

 

I just hit a private wash that sits behind the Petro just north of Birmingham off I59. The place is old and outside with just a tin roof for cover. Most expensive wash I've ever had but she shines.

 

Time for a much needed bath, but first...

A selfie!

 

I feel like the Little Sisters in Barstow is similarly overhyped to Dannys. Sure they do a good job but no better than a solid Blue Beacon and I still end up hand drying half the truck myself. The polish crew does a good job though and reasonable, pending your wheels aren’t pitted to the point of needing sanding

 

The thing with BB is no matter how sloppy they were I’ve only had 1 location get huffy when I asked them to rewash areas (Fernley, NV), same can’t be said for probably 3/4s of the 1 off washes I’ve used. My favorite used to be the Rochelle IL location, manager was a Spanish guy with a polishing business on the side and he made darn sure the crew took pride in their work

 

Water spots?
