Expert Answers about Toyota Car Wash Tools
- Recommendation To Remove Roof Rack Mounted Bike Carrier For Car Wash
- The Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier - Fork Mount # RBC035 is not recommended to go through a touch car wash. I recommend removing the bike rack prior to the wash which will only take a minute or two. It probably would not need to be removed on a touchless car wash but your warranty would not cover car wash damage.

- With the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Hitch Mount # TH92BJ or any other accessory, it is recommended to remove the carrier prior to going through a car wash. The manufacturer's warranty will not cover any damages incurred if you have the bike carrier installed while using an automated car wash. If it's a touchless car wash the risk is lower, but if it's a car wash with brushes then the risk is very high something would happen.

- Any time you wash a vehicle I would recommend you remove the roof rack so that you can clean the vehicle under the feet as well as the feet of the rack. However, we realize that many people will just leave the rack on the car.
If it's a brushless car wash you could leave the rack on.
Keeping the pads clean under the roof rack is important to prevent any type of scratching of the paint there.

- The Pace Edwards Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover part # 311-SWCA27A58 is safe to take in the car wash but please keep in mind a touch less is the way to go and Pace Edwards does not recommend waxing the cover so that step should be skipped. With the high pressures of a car wash I suspect there would be water penetration that isn't typical of the cover during normal rain events. The instructions are linked below page 6 and 7 discuss care and maintenance while page 8 covers warranty.

- Yes, you can leave a roof rack on your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe installed for as long as you like. However, I would only use touchless car washes with the rack installed as there is a possibility that a non-touchless car wash could potentially cause damage. In regards to the panoramic roof, so long as it does not extend up above the roof line you should be fine but please keep in mind this can be very noisy.
For your 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed...

- The Chevy Bowtie LED Lighted Trailer Hitch Cover # RP86530 referenced in your question features a corrosion resistant plastic construction but because it also connects to the 4-Way wiring connector on your truck I do recommend removing the cover before going in for a car wash.

The best wax we offer for the above purpose is going to be the Griot's Garage Liquid Gloss Poly Wax part # 34910969. I recommend you apply a good coat...
