ULPT: deluxe membership car wash

So, first off, fuck these places.
The tip: for the ones that scan your license plate. Sign up with an old plate and put magnets on it. Slap it on any car. Now you have a family and friends plan.

Most put an RFID sticker in your window because not all states have front facing plates.

My car wash is rear plate based. But they also photograph the cars going through and maps to the app so I assume there is a check somewhere.

Yup if they notice the car not matching they’ll disable access.

Even better. Those are notoriously dupe able

I got waved through because the card i was swiping was demagnatized. I had money but no other card. There was a line and they had no choice but to let me through. For the first time ever forgetting to check my pockets before laundry was actually helpful.

I’m so glad this thread popped up! Is the car wash we’re speaking about the Deluxe car wash or just Luxe car wash. They “Luxe” just got done replacing a perfectly good car wash with a building that looks like a drive through restaurant.

Ours has a sticker. I tried to just use tape to affix it to my windshield so I could use on two different cars, but the reader at the car wash won’t read it with the backing still on it.
So I just bought two memberships.

Search for "Clear Window Cling for Car" on Amazon. I use this for my parking permit at work so I can occasionally swap vehicles with my wife without notifying security.
