Took my MCS to its very first touchless car wash and later
found that i got some fog on the bottom portion inside my
passenger side headlight. it was about 29F outside
when I ran it through, so it wasn't rediculously cold.

The fogging went away after about an hour. Does yours
do that after a touchless wash? wata piece of crap these
HID's.

thanks, ryephile. :smile:

i was a bit concerned, but it went away unlike the hyundai
headlights that get moist and algea starts to from inside the headlights...

I should try not wash too much under 32F then (very hard to do in chicago).

Every time I take the car to the dealer, they deliver my car with the the headlamps and the rally lights fogged. I don´t know how they wash it. When I wash the car it NEVER happens and I do use a karcher or at least a regular hose.

One way to fix it fast before green algae starts growing is to turn your high beams on until the fog dissapears. Takes a couple of minutes. (great defogger)
