Where can I find a car wash for oversized vehicles?

I’m looking for recommendations for car wash services that can handle oversized vehicles like large cargo vans and trucks. I’ve had a hard time finding places that can accommodate the size and mess that comes with these behemoths, and I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience in this area.

What to Consider:

  • Space Availability: Does the car wash have enough space for larger vehicles?
  • Equipment: Are the washing tools suitable for big trucks?
  • Pricing: How much can I expect to pay for a thorough wash?
  • Quality of Service: Any recommendations for places that do a great job?

Additional Questions:

  • Have you had any bad experiences with car washes that weren’t equipped for larger vehicles?
  • Is it worth it to pay extra for a specialized service?

Feel free to share your experiences or maybe even post links to places you’ve used in the past. Thanks in advance!

Check out ‘Big Wash’ on 5th Avenue. They have specialized equipment for trucks and vans. I took my truck there last week and was really impressed!

I’ve had a great experience at ‘Truck Spa’ in my area. They do a fantastic job, especially with the undercarriage wash which is crucial for larger vehicles.

Sounds good! Have you tried their detailing service as well? I’m curious if that’s worth it.

Yes, I recommend it! The detailing at ‘Truck Spa’ left my van looking brand new. They focus on every little detail for sure.

Do you think ‘Big Wash’ is bus-friendly? I might need to take my bus there next time.

Absolutely! I’ve seen multiple buses there. They have extra-large bays for oversized vehicles.

For those near downtown, ‘Oversize Car Care’ has been my go-to for years! They have a membership option that’s worth checking out if you go often.

I just go to the local DIY car wash. I have a big truck and I can wash it how I like it. Plus, it’s cheaper!

That’s a smart idea! But do you ever worry about missing spots? Sometimes I wish I had a professional to help.

I think having a professional do it is great! But also messy. Just last week, I had soap all over my driveway after trying to wash my truck in the driveway!

Haha, I can totally relate! Washing oversized vehicles at home is an adventure.

If you’re washing a large vehicle like a truck or an RV, using a long-handled scrub brush can really save your back. Make sure to use a gentle car soap to avoid scratching the paint! Regular soap can strip away wax.

Reflecting on my choices, I still think that professional washes are usually worth it for the time saved. Plus, they often do a better job in tight spots.

Great tip! I also recommend using a foam cannon if you have one; it works wonders at getting dirt off larger surfaces quickly. Just make sure to rinse thoroughly!

17

I’ve found that using microfiber towels for drying is a game-changer. They absorb so much water and help prevent streaks. Plus, they’re gentle on the paint!

18

For those without a foam cannon, a good old-fashioned bucket and sponge work perfectly fine. It’s all about getting the right angle when washing such large vehicles!

Does anyone have recommendations for eco-friendly car wash products? It’s important to me to clean my oversized vehicle without harming the environment.

[@michael22] You’re right to consider eco-friendly products! Many brands now offer biodegradable soaps that work just as well. Have you checked out brands like Chemical Guys or EcoTouch?
