Default Soft top and car wash.

Has anyone gone through a touchless car wash with the trex top Nx? Good idea or bad idea?

I pressure wash my jeep with my trektop on, I couldn't imagine goin through a touch less could be any different than that. So I would say your good.

I've gone through the Car Spa and Simonize, no issues in either. They use both high pressure sprayers and soft 'brushes' that spin on the sides and drag across the top. No issues, but I don't take it in nearly as much as my truck. Used to go weekly, now it's about 1x a month.

I have taken my 4 door through a touchless car wash with no issues or leaks. A touchless wash does nothing to get mud off the top though..

I don't think you would have an issue with the water pressure or anything like that but personally I wouldn't trust the soap..

Maybe I'm buying a gimmick but I just personally believe in using the bestop cleaner and protector for their products . Then again, I have no experience in going through a car wash with my trektop

Thanks for the info everyone. I was just concerned about the high pressure spray. I'm sure it would be fine but I wanted to ask people before throwing 700 bucks out the window. Thanks guys.
