Take a skimmer to the car wash?

[Delphinus]

Ok, every little voice in my head says this is a bad idea because of the detergent. Every little voice, that is, except for the one that says "...but wouldn't it be cool to get all those little encrusting thingies that you can't reach, cleaned off, and the only thing I can think of that has enough pressure is the car wash .... you could run the nozzle on rinse for like a minute before spraying the skimmer. And then you can take the skimmer to your house and rinse it for a few minutes with the garden hose to be really sure."

What's the group consensus, ReallyBadIdea(tm)? Or has anyone tried this?
