Anyone tried them? There is one right past the Goodyear place and if the sky is clear I desperately need the coach washed. After driving through the rain to get here it is FILTHY! Can't wash at the campground since the entire area is in a stage 1 drought even after all the rain.

I use the one in Oklahoma city all the time, and have used others around the country too. To wash my coach is around $50 for a basic wash but they charge by the length. A few pieces of advise is to tell them to not leave the soap (just have them wash it right off) on the wheels because the acid dulls the wheel and I always have to have my wheels polished out after if they let it sit. Depending on the season (if it's safe for the men to go outside) for $6 they'll shine the tires and it's good stuff, doesn't sling all over after. The Rain-X is treatment also worth the few extra dollars.

Have them dry it if they offer the service, cause most of them use very hard water that will definitely leave spots that are not too easy to remove. I always wipe the rims right after I pull out of their bay.

Had the works done at Blue Beacon, roof washed, wax treatment, tires, dried for $83.
They did a pretty good job. Think next time I'll just do the basic wash n dry.
Thanks for the tips.

Don't let them use the acid on your wheels. Just soap. If you do, you'll learn quickly which I'm sure some have.
