automatic car washing that spray under your car....

I know this belongs in "car detail" section, but I just needed a quick answer.

this question goes to everyone that has a CAI

is it okay to run our cars through the automatic car washes? I know that many
of them have the undercarriage car wash (washing under your car)

would that be harmful to our engines since it'll be spraying right at the CAI?

thanks!

I shut off my engine anyhow if I take it through...at least it makes me feel like I'm safeguarding the intake [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Yeah, make sure you let your engine run any time that water touches the inside of the engine bay...that way it can dry off well and avoid any problems...
