    From an automatic Car Wash eh. I believe it. I don't use those at all. I will use the do-it-yourself powerwash wand the odd time in the middle of winter, mostly to get rid of the gunk around the wheel wells. Drives me nuts with how much buildup my Mirage gets. Worse than my old Ford Escort wagon by a long shot.

    Anyway I would try to find the part on the mitsubishi parts now.com store. Sorry for your luck. I handwash my Mirage at home. Still my Mirage has some scratches from winter scrapers on the paint.

    I keep my distance from my car as much as I can with the powerwasher wand.

    Most yards will ship. Call around or have your favorite local junkyard find one.

    Haha ya eh, I would personally avoid all of them, and wash your Mirage the old fashioned way with a bucket and some soapy water. I use some stuff I got at Canadian Tire. I think they have Canadian Tires in the US south now, I saw ads during the world series. They might sell the brand other places like Walmart. Anyway I have seen photos of junkyard Mirages already so they are out there. In Canada for me it's different but that doesn't matter. Cheers good luck! Keep away from any car wash besides your driveway.

    I pulled one of those strips off a wreck once. They're glued down pretty good. I've taken mine through touchless and the brushed car washes and only lost the antennae on my car.

    I'd wash my car with a bucket of water but it -10c outside.....here in Canada
