I've used BB twice, won't use them again! After my coach dried it was just as dirty as when I drove in! They only used a power wash, no brushes to take off the road grime, I could have done just as well with a garden hose. Might be good for semi's but not for motorhomes.

Incorrect. They have brushes in all locations for those that do not want a power wash. They do use the power washers to do the rinse. Chuck

I beg to differ! I asked in both locations to have my coach washed with brushes and both times was told they don't do that, power wash only!

That may have been in those locations. Other locations do offer to use brushes, including the one we stopped in, even though they did not use them as we ask. To say that none offer brush service is just not correct. Chuck

I did not say none offered brush service. You said they offer the service in all locations and I was pointing out that was not true as evidenced by my two encounters.

I asked and they would only brush my windshield.

I don't think I've been to one that didn't use brushes only, with no power wash. But then again, I haven't been to more than 3 or 4 of them.

Mine in DFW area dies a great job .explained what i wanted, what they offered. They use wands and brushes both.

Sorry about your rv and it's probably true their high pressure took the coat off, but as stated, maybe it was just waiting to happen anyway...
Heck, some Crossroad and Redwood rv's lost clear coat without ANY help !

I take pride in saying I've NEVER washed an RV except maybe my first 40 years ago

Please don't shut down Blue Beacon as my rv will stay dirty - I've used about 10 of them across the southern US and have had some less than perfect washes once or twice, but most of the time it's great !

Maybe because mine isn't covered in mud or rusty when I leave and drive down the road to 'blow dry" it - it looks fine and no brown streaks!

From driving down the highway wet, we were left with brown stain streaks from every window and attachment point on the coach. What a disaster. Chuck

You said it best, same for me, I am done with them.

Caps I hope you don't use the one @ I20 and Bonnie View. They did my Monaco and it looked like they used wire brushes. I never did get all the scratches out.
