I haven’t seen car wash brushes in many years. All cloth. 

Jesus lol it's cloth, I didn't realize the literal police was here 🤣. Was just meant as something funny to point out.

It looks like wire. You said brush. I remember car washes using brush. Now it’s all cloth. So to answer your question. My 3 vehicles go once a week to the cloth car wash. And no I don’t take pieces home with me.

I'd be checking into a different car wash. I use one during the winter and haven't had anything like that happen with 3 different trucks over 4 winters now.

I would look for a different car wash also. Those cloth brushes scratch the piss out of your truck.

Touchless are best.

The one I use uses cloth/chamois "paddles. My trucks are always black and I make it through the winters decent. Nothing that a morning with my Porter Cable doesn't cure in the spring.

Anyone else lucky enough to get to take home a piece of the car wash everytime? 🤣

I always use touchless car washes. Very inconvenient but almost no chance of damage/scratches to the vehicle.

I never run my cars through the automatic scratchers, When the truck is really dirty, I use a touchless wash otherwise every few days I just wipe down the panels and windows down using the ONR/Microfiber towel method. Wipe one way and turn the towel over and repeat. Takes 15 minutes tops

I cringe on the times I need to get a car wash but there is a line for touchless, so I just yolo going into the car-wash that is on the belt. My only irritation is my passenger mirror closes due to drying force.

High pressure car wash on rinse or hand wash in summer. High pressure wand doesn't clean as well as hand wash of course, dirt roads makes it tough. 6 miles of dirt road each trip.

And then it rains. But you have to admit, living on that dirt road is better than in the city.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      By SFC Retired · Posted

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
