Keeping car locked while high pressure washing?

[B61]

I hope those of you leaving the keys in the car don’t inadvertently lock it. Now that could be really annoying if you have only 1 key or are not at home

I have two keys... but I don't believe that you can't unlock the car with keys inside.
Anyone tried that?

I don't think it will let you lock the car with the key inside, if that's what you mean.

Well.... define high pressure.
At home, I have something about 2bars ... at those public self-service station, I'd say it's even less.

2bars? That's around 30 PSI.

According to multiple sources online most car washes are around 1000-1200 PSI and above 2000 PSI is considered potentially harmful to automotive finishes.

why not? Afterall, you can lock the car from inside and it also locks by itself as well…

At home, i have my own water source, without any additional pumps… so, it’s only nature pressure… but i know that’s about 2bars, since my Karcher sometimes stops working, when the pressure drops below 2bars.
I don’t know the pressure of self-service washers…but it’s not much stronger then mine….so one is not splashed from “backfire” when standing closer to the csr….
