Blue Beacon is not far from my home. Are they OK and would you use the RainX product?

They do a pretty good job. Only thing I don't like but still use them is no washing the roof at the two locations I've used.

We have a Blue Beacon a couple miles from the house. They do a good job and offer good customer service. They always ask me if there is any area that I am concerned about. They always try to upsell, but never get pushy.

I have used the RainX protection and have been satisfied with it. It definitely seems to reduce oxidation.

The last time I went was mid-day, thinking it would be quiet. Boy was I wrong. It was a long wait, but it still beats washing by hand.

They have ceiling mounted sprayers. About like a heavy rain but no hands on.

I suspect Blue Beacons vary and are contingent on their workforce.

I have used the Brunswick, GA I-95 Blue Beacon many times. They are great and I always get the RainX treatment. My full body painted coach shines as new.

Note......I do not park under trees.

I didn't know hand dry was an option. Do you mean with a towel or leaf blower?

X2 on decals. Some years back we had a Mark III conversion van that was heavily decaled. We were on a trip and pulled into a commercial car wash that offered 'full hand wash' at a premium price. We returned to find about 1/3 of the decals blown off by the idiot who pressure washed it (you would think after he saw a few pieces come off he would have stopped). Ended up costing the car wash about $1500 for a complete re-decaling as Mark III no longer sold the matching graphics and that was the lowest quote that could be found at the local body shops..plus they paid for 2 more nights at the motel for the work to be done.

If the RV has full paint, I would have no problem. But mine has decals...and decals with high pressure water sometimes don't mix very well.

Yes I uses them. When on the road I just pull in with the Jeep still hooked up and they do both. Have them hand dry the MH, I think it's worth while.
