How does this product hold up to the high pressure automated car washes? (not hand washing, I mean the ones your take your car and drive through?

I have not tested it but repeated high pressure wash will most likely to cause peeling as it is stated on the instruction not to use a high pressure wash.

I have had mine on for over a year now and been going through car washes with them on without any problems.

No issues. This thing doesn't waterproof your bed however. There are sections that will leak a little water in especially with the force of pressurized water, but other than that it holds up fine in a car wash. I've even taken it through the type with spinning brushes and it has never had any issues. That's if you secure it properly of course.

I've had 2 of them. One on a Nissan frontier and current one on a full size ford. Never had an issue with water either from rain or car wash.

I've had my on for a year. It will handle a car wash and all weather it's very durable

That's an excellent question. After some bad experiences with some scratches left by drive-through car washes, I generally avoid them. Plus, I like the time to inspect my vehicle that hand washing provides. That said, my general experience with the bracket leads me to believe that it should be fine. Based on how it's mounted, if you've tightened it correctly, there's little that should directly affect it.

I made a bumper sticker using the white waterproof vinyl and it has survived the car wash a few times per week for a few months. I'd say do a tester and definitely wash cold!

My husband says yes you can. He has been through the car wash at least 3 times and it is fine.

We used it on our daughters Racecar and we pressure wash it every week with an industrial type washer with very hot water and it has held up great.

You would probably want to get something more powerful for that. I was using this in my garden and honestly never used the stronger settings.....I couldn't say for sure.....it may be a little bit light for doing what you want. You could always do something like that at a manual car wash....I know the pressure on those is really strong and they have good reach.

Yes, no problem. Adheres very securely. Material is UV protected and will certainly handle car wash.

My car is a convertible, so no car washes. But it's pretty beefy, and I think it would hold up well.

I haven't used it to wash a car, but I imagine it would work just fine. You just hook one end of the filter up to the hose, and the other to the sprayer head. Has normal water pressure and everything.

It should be fine with automatic car washes. Road salt in Pennsylvania doesn't seem to harm it. Seems like a tough coating that holds up.

I do not use automatic car washes but I suspect it will hold up just fine. I wash mine at home. It does not leak and has been holding up just fine.

I have had this cover for 5 years. I run it through the car wash at least once every two weeks and never had any issues at all. This is a great product.

I've had mine for over a year, ran through the car wash at least 12 times with no issues.
