Is it waterproof? What about car-wash?

I have the unit mounted with the opening face-down. It has a rubber cap that seals it very well. I have washed my bike and ridden in the rain countless times and have never had an issue.

The rubber cap fits very tight over the opening. Have been caught in the rain and never had it leak. Very well made.

Yes, when properly installed it has proven to be completely water proof both when providing power to an accessory or when closed and not in use. This is an outstanding product as far as I'm concerned.

(Assuming you mean a jet Lance type car wash) I would Not advise. Though there are sturdy enough to withstand the pressure and chemical abuse, Jet Lancing is a lazy option that introduces a lot of un-necessary hazards and trauma to a motorcycle and should be refrained from as a common practice. It will over time deteriorate chrome never mind destroy paintwork on a bike. Chemical residue, if not completely removed will destroy in time the rubber cap on the KEPP.If you have to use a Jet Lance .... try and avoid spraying directly into where the wires enter the power point. As a precaution afterwards make sure you rinse and dry both sides of the rubber cap. (Assuming you mean a jet Lance type car wash) I would Not advise.

The item looks good, is very well made, and the rubber cover seems to seal pretty well.....I think you'd be good for rain.....don't know about power washing.

I love mine. Yes water proof. But make damn sure you don't hire an idiot to wash your bike. He power washed the speaker directly into the speaker grill. The inner cone popped loose and I asked Kuryakyn for a replacement speaker. Was told they only replace the entire unit. Looked elsewhere for one that would fit. Kuryakyn made sure it's an odd size. Got out my tools and glue gun and carefully repaired it myself.

I had mine on a motorcycle that encountered many torrential rains. Keep the cover on when not in use. I'm not sure I would even consider taking my bike through a car-wash.

It does have a protective cover over the outlet, so you don't have to worry about rain getting in there, but if you were going to take your bike through a car wash, I would cover it with a plastic bag before just to be on the safe side.

its not waterproof at all because of the the big holes where the seatbelts go. The fabric itself will be water resistant to a point. I personally will dry my dog somewhat so she is not dripping water before i get her in the car.

Yes, I have had it in downpours. I haven't problems with water getting in. No problems with car washes either. Perfect size for my 2007 Ford ranger.

If I under your question right I don't think this product was intended for that use but it does have lubricity. What I would recommend for you is Gary Dean detail Juice. That's more of a waterless car wash product.

it is definitely waterproof. I use in the shower and have a bag of about 15 lbs of children's toys handing in a net bag from it.

I just sent one through the wash by accident, and it still works!I wouldn't call it waterproof, but I was impressed that it actually survived!

I've had 2 of them. One on a Nissan frontier and current one on a full size ford. Never had an issue with water either from rain or car wash.

I have used several of these and they are not waterproof at all. Once they get misty inside they take forever to dry out. My son has no problem with the one I installed for him because the mount is rather well encapsulated,but I don't think he has taken it through a car wash. The cameras I bought had had four vent holes in the back, so "water resistant" is probably what the "waterproof" specification the manufacturer refers to means. And, I can't close without mentioning that my experience was that these cameras tend to turn green and red into pink. That makes for very pretty landscapes, but no so much for color accuracy.

Yes, no problem. Adheres very securely. Material is UV protected and will certainly handle car wash.

Yes is cleanble. But before you put it back, be sure that is completely dry and wash it by hand and soft soap. Son car doesnt have scuffs. Be advaise that is not water just water resistant.

I installed this on my two trucks. I've been using power washer to clean the engine and the compartment and I have not encountered any problem. I'll say it is water proof.

We don't think it's waterproof, but it might be water resistant. We've never had it around water as we use it to carry geocache supplies in it and it stays in the car most of the time. I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. He says he would definitely recommend it depending on what you are using it for. It can get heavy depending on what you have in it.

I haven't, but I wouldn't recommend it. I would lightly hand wash it. My concern would be that running it through the wash my degrade the waterproof material or coating.

I would say that this is not waterproof. There is a fuzzy liner at the bottom that is removable, in case any accidents, so you can wash.

We have not had to wash it to this point. I would put the question to the manufacturer at http://www.khmfg.com/deluxe-car-seat-saver.html if Carol's message doesn't satisfy your concerns.

My sense is that it will survive the automatic car washes because the material is a flexible plastic and is not a rigid material. However, I haven't used an automatic car wash in years.
