Big Rig Truck Wash

I see that many A & B coaches are using the Big Rig truck washes to get there rigs cleaned. Use to drive Truck & Trailer tankers all polished out and Would Always Tell The Truck Wash retailer that I Do Not Want a Brightner used during the wash of my Truck. Just thought I would pass that on since I have read Many post's about polished Aluminum Wheels.
You can tell what aluminum brightner does to your aluminum, just look at the Petes, and KW's driving by your on the road. The ones that use it all the bare aluminum on the rig is almost white, no shine to it At All. If you go to the truck wash tell them No Brightner during the wash. Just wonder what it does to your paint?

Thanks for that tip. I usually go to Blue Beacon and just get the basic wash, as I have the MH waxed every spring.

That "brightener" is actually an acid wash.
