Q: Can I go through a car wash with my rack on my car?

A: No! When you wash your car you should remove the rack because: 1) The rack might snag on some of the machinery of the car wash and damage your car, or worse, the car wash; 2) Wand washing your car could blow dirt underneath the pads of your rack system, which will end up damaging the vehicle's finish; 3) You want to take the rack off so that you can clean away any water stains or dirt that managed to sneak under your pads, & so you can check your contact points for wear.
