Burning Man vehicles caked in mud are reportedly damaging some car washes — and some burners are being refused service altogether

• Burning Man attendees face a new challenge — getting the mud off their cars.
• One Reno car wash is turning away burners after caked-on mud and clay damaged its machinery.
• Heavy rain caused festival grounds to become muddy, making it difficult to walk and drive.

Burning Man left cars caked in mud. Finding a way to get them clean is proving to be difficult — and annoying some car wash managers in the process.
