Do you wash trucks?

If you have any immediate questions about the pending Authorization Charge, please contact your financial institution. If it is still showing up after 5 business days please reach out to us to look into the issue for you.

Are tunnel car washes safe for ski or roof racks?
In most cases, roof racks are safe to take through a tunnel car wash. Before entering the wash, inspect your roof rack to make sure it is securely attached to your vehicle and has no protruding attachments. However, it's always better to be safe than sorry. If your roof rack is larger, more complex, or protruding from your vehicle we suggest you remove it completely prior to entering wash bay.

Is the wash safe for convertibles?
Yes, please make sure the roof is properly latched.

Does Blue Dolphin Car Wash operate any wash franchises?
Not at this time.

How often should I wash my car?
We advise our customers to wash their vehicles any time they are dirty. Dirt works into the paint and deteriorates the surface of the paint due to many types of pollutants in road dirt. It is best to remove insect residue, bird droppings, and other residue as soon as possible to prevent damage to your vehicle's paint.

Is it safer to wash your car by hand at home?
Rags and sponges used in driveway washing inevitably become impregnated with tiny particles of grit and can scratch your vehicle's surface. Furthermore, garden hoses typically have inadequate water pressure to remove all the soap film, letting it 'bake' into the finish and work its way into the paint for days afterward. In fact, professional studies have shown that the good old driveway car wash is one of the worst things that can happen to a car's factory paint job.

What's so bad about driveway/alley car washing?
Since storm drains are not a part of the wastewater system, materials emptied into them do not go to wastewater treatment facilities. Driveway car washing not only introduces chemicals from soaps and detergents into the water system, it also loosens toxic particles that have accumulated on your car, such as lead, phosphates, motor oil, asphalt, and antifreeze and releases them directly into our streams and lakes.
