Recently had a boot spoiler fitted to my 156. It's the big whale-tail fella. I've got a years worth of free car washes, but been told by the guy who fitted it; it can't go through a car wash. I've been a bit of a cheapskate and not uprated the struts. Can I put it through a car wash or am i risking the fittings of the spoiler?
N.B. I know I shouldn't use a car wash because of the damage to the paintwork, but I'm a lazy git!
i wouldn't put my Alfa anywhere near a mechnical automated car wash, they put warnings on them for a reason, i had a wing mirror totally snapped off my focus once when one of the sensors failed and the drying fans just ripped it clean off, the reply i got from the staff (as expected) sorry use at your own risk
The struts won't cause issues with going through the car wash. The struts need upgraded because when the wear out they let the spolier hit the rear window.... like mine do
:thumbs: couldn't agree more, in fact mine had a wash and polish yesterday, even if you're not going to polish it jut use good quality wash/wax and 20 minutes work will have it looking fantastic, but i can't stress it enough DO NOT USE A CARWASH you WILL regret it
