Hi Gerald,

It cannot; I checked with WeatherTech for you and the WeatherTech Custom Fit Hood Protector # WT28BQ that fits your 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 should not be taken through that type of car wash. Per the instructions, it says, "Do not use automatic “brush-style” car washes."

So that's something you'll want to avoid when using the # WT28BQ and just take your truck to one of the self-car washes or maybe at your home if you're able.
