The tunnel wash is a dangerous place. Some places take good care of there equipment, brushes and rollers, others don't. I've gone into one with my white ford f150, and came out with a big splotch of grease on my bedside.. They let me ride through 1 more time for free, and then my bug-deflector on my hood came loose. After my truck dried it looked dirtier and more scratched up then before I went in...
Ever since then, I will only do the 2 bucket wash method by hand, mixed in with the occasional wash bay spray downs...
If you have fender flares, vent shades, plastidip, eBay lights, auxiliary lights, even rust on your gas door, you should stay out of the wash tunnel...

Agreed. Anything after market is cheap and doesn't hold very well. Our carwashes actually polish the vehicle.

Tunnel wash ate my driver rear vent visor and peeled the plasti dip off my steps.
