Expert Answers about Chevrolet Wash and Wax


  • Can I Take an Extang Trifecta Tonneau Through an Automatic Car Wash
  • The Extang Trifecta Signature 2.0 Soft Tonneau # EX94350 is designed to withstand all types of weather and you can take it through an automatic car wash without issue, however you will not want to select any type of wax treatment as the ingredients within the wax treatment could potentially harm the finish built into the cover. As long as you are sure not to allow wax to be applied to the tonneau, you won't have any issues. Extang Trifecta covers also have a lifetime limited warranty that...

  • How To Prevent Decals and Graphics From Fading on a Trailer
  • The best way to ensure the graphics on your new trailer stay crisp and sharp is to make sure you always have a good coat of wax on the trailer. This coat of wax is going to act as a protectant which will shield the graphics/decals whether they be paint or vinyl from the sun's damaging UV rays which is what cases them to fade over time. 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...

  • BAK Tonneau Cover Safe For Automatic Car Wash?
  • While BAK says it is possible to take their covers through a car wash as long as the cover is closed and secure, there are some important things to keep in mind that might help you to protect your investment while simultaneously enjoying the convenience of an automatic wash for your truck. Car washes with spinning brushes should be avoided while the Tonneau cover is on. You don't want it to be damaged by the abrasions that might occur from a rolling brush that's simply too abrasive for...

  • Can I Take My BAK Revolver Tonneau Cover Through The Car Wash
  • Yes, you can take your BAK Revolver X4s Hard Tonneau Cover - Roll Up - Aluminum and Vinyl - Matte Black, part # BAK25VR, through the car wash, provided you follow these tips. Avoid car washes that use brushes. Brushes can scratch your tonneau cover, which you do not want. Only get your car washed where they offer a brushless option. Outside of washing your truck yourself, this is the easiest way to make sure your truck and your tonneau cover do not get damaged at the car wash. Do not...

  • Installation Of The Weather Tech Easy-On Deflector # WT50199 On A 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty
  • The Weather Tech Easy-On Stone and Bug Shield Deflector, part # WT50199, can be attached to your 2011 Ford F-250 Super Duty with either the 3M automotive adhesive tape, or fasteners that use existing holes in the vehicles hood. The mounting brackets are attached to the underside of the hood with tape or fasteners, so if you use the tape it is not to be directly applied to the paint surface of the hood. The mounting brackets that attach to the underside of the hood will allow the deflector...

  • Best Way to Clean Streaks on Canvas Tent Trailer
  • The best thing you can do to eliminate those streaks is regularly clean your trailer because there just is not a way to re-route the condensation before it leaves streaks. The best way to do this is by using the Griot's Garage Rinseless Wash and Wax # 34910493; it only requires one ounce per 2-1/2 gallons of water and you just need to use a microfiber towel or the Wash Mitts - Microfiber # 34910268 to wash your trailer. Griot's Garage, who makes these products, was here recently to demonstrate...

  • Will the Pace Edwards Switchblade Retractable Hard Tonneau Cover Hold up in a Carwash?
  • 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. To...

  • Will the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror # CM11302 Scratch a Chrome Mirror on a 2011 Toyota Tundra
  • The only portion of the CIPA Custom Towing Mirror # CM11302 that will touch the front of your mirror is the wedge, and will have a layer of felt on it to prevent scratching and marring. However, it is still recommended that you wash your mirrors and apply a thin layer of wax to help ensure nothing scratches your mirrors. If you plan on leaving the # CM11302 for extended periods of time you will want to remove it periodically to wash the mirror to prevent any dirt from getting in between...

  • Solution for Removing Heavy Oxidation from 1996 Winnebago
  • The Griot's Garage Rinseless Wash and Wax Solution for Vehicles and RVs # 34910497 is a great option to help clean your 1996 Winnebago, but since you are looking to target stains from oxidation you are going to need either the Complete Polish # 34910876 or the BOSS Fast Correcting Cream # 349B110P. The Complete Polish is for light oxidation so since you said you have a lot of oxidation you likely need the BOSS Fast Correcting Cream which is designed for heavy oxidation (among other things...

  • Recommended RV Cover For A 2020 Forest River Salem 27RE Travel Trailer
  • The spec guide I see for your 2020 Forest River Salem 27RE is showing the same at 33.5' long.

This cover protects your stored travel trailer from UV rays, dirt, wind, and snow and works best for long-term storage in all climates, as you can see in the attached RV Cover Climate Map.

  • How to Make Installing and Accessing Roof Mounted Cargo Boxes Easier
  • We offer a product that would make accessing any roof mounted accessory much easier. Regardless of whether you're installing, removing, loading or unloading your # MPG901 Malone Cargo12 roof cargo box, a door step like the Rightline # RL100660 that installs using the door striker would make accessing the roof easy for even the most vertically-challenged folks (some of our customers even use it when they're washing and waxing the roof of the vehicle). The portion of the step that touches...

  • If your touchpad on your Lippert Ground Control 3.0 Electric 5th Wheel RV Leveling System w Touchpad and Remote - 6-Point Set # LC675817 is showing an external sensor error, then that is indicating that you have a faulty connection to the rear sensor, or you may have some damaged wiring.

  • Can I Attach Extra Large Cargo Carrier # 988501 To Roof Of Vehicle
  • You would want to use a cargo bag designed to be mounted to the roof of vehicles. The item you selected, Extra Large Cargo Carrier, part # 988501 is not rated or designed for use on top of a vehicle, it is designed to be used on a hitch mounted cargo carrier. For a roof mounted cargo bag, I would recommend the Rightline Gear Cargo Bag, part # RL100S30, which has 18 cubic feet of cargo room. This cargo bag will attach to a roof rack, or can be used on a bare roof by running the straps...

  • Will Thule Outbound Roof Bag # TH868 Fit 2010 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen w/ Factory Side Rails
  • The Thule Outbound Roof Bag # TH868, is not a vehicle specific fit item. It will fit vehicles that have factory side rails, crossbars, aftermarket roof rack or roof baskets. You can attach the roof bag to just the side rails on your 2010 Jetta Sportwagen, but I recommend installing crossbars like the Thule WingBars, part # TH711200 in silver or # TH711220 in black along with the Evo raised rail feet # TH710401. The bag will attach to the Thule crossbars and the factory side rails which...

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 1957 Chevy 210 Wagon
  • Thanks for sharing your picture, it helped out a great deal. For towing mirrors, I recommend the Cipa Door Mount # 11650 over a fender mount because of the style of your hood. The modern vehicles are made with hood lines closer to the outer edge of the vehicle which makes the fender mount design desirable. The reason you cannot find a confirmed fitment for your 1957 Chevy is because these products are universal in design compared to the custom fit line that are designed to fit over specific...

  • Recommended Trunk Bike Rack for Preventing Scratches on a 2015 Mazda 6
  • Honestly, the best way to prevent scratches or damage to your vehicle's paint is going to get a hitch mounted rack like the Thule Helium # TH44VR and a trailer hitch like the Curt # C11356. We typically recommend a fresh wash and wax before installing any trunk rack. It is important that the rack be installed securely to reduce bouncing or movement, which causes scratches. But honestly it is the nature of the location of the rack and the elements it encounters while on the road. Dirt and...
