Truck owners who have a soft bed cover may be wondering if it is safe to take the vehicle through a car wash. After all, it’s not like you can just take off the bed cover and leave it in the driveway while you go through the car wash with your truck. This article will explain what you need to consider when determining whether or not it is safe to take your truck with a soft bed cover through a car wash.
The first thing to consider when taking your truck with a soft bed cover through a car wash is the type of car wash that you are using. If you are using a brushless car wash, then it is generally considered safe for soft bed covers since there are no brushes or other abrasive components that could damage or tear the material. However, if you choose to use an automated car wash that utilizes brushes, then there’s always the risk of damaging or tearing your soft bed cover.
Another factor that should be taken into account when deciding whether or not to take your truck with a soft bed cover through a car wash is the size of your truck and its bed. If your truck has a large bed, then there may be more risk of damage because there is more surface area for the brushes and other components of the automated car wash to come into contact with. In addition, if your truck has sharp edges on its bodywork, these could also cause damage to the soft material.
Conclusion
Taking your truck with a soft bed cover through an automated carwash can be risky as there is potential for damage caused by brushes and other abrasive components coming into contact with the material. It is generally considered safe if you use a brushless carwash but caution should still be taken regardless of which type of carwash you choose. Consider factors such as size and sharp edges on bodywork before deciding whether or not it is safe for your particular vehicle.
