>> "Car wash?" <<

I don't know about most Vanagon owners but here in the Northeast there is a
complete lack of road salt to rust our vans during the summer. Sure, there's
plenty of rain but that just doesn't do it. In order to keep the rust on its
regular cycle we like to go to car washes where there is plenty of recycled
salt, detergents and grease in the water being used. That high pressure hose
allows us to force those chemicals into all the nooks and crannies on our
vans. Plus they look great after the wash. :) :)
