Tacomas in Minnesota?

I love the holiday wash by my house, its brand new, has 2 modes (touchless and touching) I used the touching one once, when the wash was first installed because I knew the brushes were fresh. Otherwise I use the touch free. In the past 13 months of having the unlimited wash pass, I have had 129 washes there (usually every other day in the winter)

 

does it have the sideblasters for rocker panels and wheel wells?

 

Yep, does the sides and underside

 

How much is the unlimited pass? I usually do the soft touch I haven't had any issues with seeing any light scratches yet (fingers crossed)

 

$32.13 a month for the works wash pass (2nd best wash they sell) I have gotten my moneys worth for sure. at $10 a wash and 129 of them, it would of cost me $1290 in car washes in the past year, instead I paid about $400 for the year.

 

I'm signing up tomorrow

 

Make sure your windshield on the top left is clean and clear, this is where they put the RFID sticker, they put the sticker on for you, so you cant just move it from car to car.

 

You’ve never been in my garage in the winter!

 

I should rephrase that, if you have a attached garage, its warmer

 

detached and cold as all hell garage as well?

i mean as cold as the hipsters here in NE can get lol
fyi i have experienced a southern MN winter before in early 1996 just across the border from Sioux Falls SD
nothing there to stop that wind from blowing
it was brutal

 

just doublecheck those sideblasters and what areas they are covering, i had a lot of problems at the Gorilla touchless wash here in NE with them thoroughly cleaning inside the wheel wells on the frame, i had routinely used the hand wand sprayer for 20+ years but got lazy i guess and got an unlimited wash pass last winter
this summer i found all kinds of rust creeping in the wheel wells on the frame that i had not ever seen before because i had hand cleaned them for so long
i assume the sideblasters just hit my wheels and bounced off not cleaning inside very thoroughly

the old frame paint coating probably had some cracks in it or maybe the rubber coating i had just finally washed itself off and this was behind it, i really am not sure



the halogen light really makes this stuff sparkle!

 

I'm a fan of Holidays touchless car wash but there ALWAYS seems to be a long line. Maybe it's just me but seems like it doesn't matter when I go, or where. I don't usually have time to wait 30+ mins so I'll pass if I drive up and see more than 4 or so cars.

 

@Shellshock alerted me to this stuff, has anybody heard of or used it before?

if it can be used in freezing temps that would be good maybe?

 

I wonder if it would wash away the fluid film I have sprayed all over my frame looks interesting though

 

it does not appear to be a high pressure setup so perhaps it will not remove the FF easily

i just called them up in Texas for some deets

it was recently released to the public last month
one gallon diluted with water will approximate 20 or so washings 'liberally'
below 25F will need some type of other dilution fluid, like washer fluid, to keep from freezing

Hey guys I got a question. For the ones who bought their Tacos new, how long did it take you to receive your plates and (lien/full) title?

Also did anyone buy theirs out of state?

 

I got mine from Markquart in Chippewa Falls and I live in Delano. I think the plates took about 3 weeks. It was a great experience with them and would highly recommend. I can share the sales person's name if you're interested/in the market.

 

Bought mine at Markquart also. They went to Kentucky to get the truck I wanted. Trailered it back... No extra charge. Great place, and best price in WI/MN area...
