    LOL I knew this was coming It’s my polite way of saying Don’t hire a tweeker Nothing pisses me off more than much of anything than to pull in the wash bay and some half witt with not a tooth in their head picking at the open sores standing there twitching whiles their Staring at you with a dirty face asks ya “ what’s ya want’s done “ so you specifically say wash the truck & wagon and DON’T use that brush on my chrome or Stainless or paint cause it scratches easy and No F’n Brightner what the 1st thing they do grab the the brush and hand sprayer with the brightner

    My biggest issues with truck washes are the company I work for expect us to keep our truck, spotless, clean. Which I agree with because I like to drive a clean truck down the road. It just shows a little more respect for the industry overall. However, there’s not a truck wash that the company I work for has an account with within about 150 miles of the yard. So many times I’ll wash the truck but it’s storming out or there’s mud or it’s winter in the truck gets dirty before I get it back to the yard. Lol. I wish they would just set up even a hand wash station because I wouldn’t mind washing my truck by hand. Just give me a hose and a brush and a bucket. They pay like $100, For an exterior truck and trailer wash. The trailer is kind of a different story, but if you offered me $40 to wash the truck itself, I do it anytime. Lol.

    Never have been able to trust truck washes with their choice of chemicals. Some may advertise what they use when they start up operations but we all know that as time goes by they will go with the cheapest supplier of who knows whats in it. I’ve come out of washes with stainless steel covered with hard to remove rust spots due to something that was too harsh of a soap. Not gonna let an expensive paint job get eaten up or faded away due to some washes mixing simple green or engine degreaser products in with the so called soap to save a buck or make it easier to get the dirt off.
