I think I would have lights pointing in every direction, if I went through the car wash. I hand wash mine at the end of every work week, spray WD-40 under the wheel wells, back to black on the bumpers and fenders, and shes a good poser for another week.

Which light bar is that? And what does the wd-40 do under there for you?

I know the light bar came from Quadratec, but I dont know the exact name of it because I bought it off Craigslist. The WD-40 keeps everything under the fender wells looking black and clean. Sometimes I do my rear axle and diff also.

Hella Black Magic = Solid

Big friggin pine tree branch = More Solid

Not a car wash, but the effect might be the same. Light itself broke right around where it bolts to the mount.

X2 touchless is the way to go even if u gotta drive cross town
