Next door where I live there is a gas station and car wash where I sometimes get gas. The car wash was closed for several years when the gas station was closed, and then it was closed for a while as it was rehabilitated. It’s one of those fully automatic car washes that you drive into, the doors shut, you park and big wands go flying over the car.

I was a bit worried my truck would fit. The washer has a maximum height of 7 inches, and I  think my truck is 6-8” right now, so I knew it would be tight. Probably won’t be able to use it after I jack up my truck though. But it seemed to work quite well, and now my truck is shiny clean and free of salt. I had noticed on Saturday when I went to check the oil and add windshield fluid fluid, that were some signs of minor corrosion appearing under the hood, so I wanted to get the salt off, particularly as the truck sat parked until Saturday or Sunday next week.

The truck was a little wet from the car wash when I got home. With the latest arctic blast, I doubt I will be able to get the doors open until it warms up a bit. Oh well, I wasn’t planning on driving it until the weekend or maybe even Sunday.
