Picked one up

[thebrave]

Hi everyone. Took delivery of a black 392 last month. This is my very first new car I've ever owned and I think I made it count! I'm retired and is my second Rubicon.

My last one was a used '06, 4.0 rag top and had to wash it by hand. So here's my first question about my 392...is it okay to run it thru an automated car wash? Reason I'm asking is because of the hood scoop and I don't wanna drown it. I'm hoping I can because it's been 7+ years since I used one and would like to retire the bucket too.

Thanx much.

I run mine through an automated car wash regularly and have had no problems. I even run it through with a soft top with no leaks.

Thank you for the replies! It's safe to say I was by far the most excited guy at the car wash today.
