Did car wash warp my bumper!?

BTW OP, I would NEVER take my baby thru any carwash, just saying. It's not a good idea.

What do you feel is wrong with a brushless car wash? The chemicals used are too harsh on the paint?

If you are picky about your paint, hand-wash only. Junkman2008 has some great how-tos in the Detailing / Washing / Waxing / Cosmetic Maintenance and Repair - Nissan 370Z Forum section. He also has some good reason not to use a brushless wash.

I agree! washed, waxed, and covered prior to storage and after storage.

Its been through 3 times since ive owned it likely won't return to one. Ive noticed a nasty scum on the clearcoat that is near impossible to remove. Already loaded up on more home cleaning supplies.

Ripple got less noticeable today in the heat, must be a factory defect when it gets cold.
