Z through car washes

kfull

I ran it through a touch less car wash once. There were different levels of cleaning you could choose so being me I chose the highest one with the clear coat protectant. There was some leftover white residue left inbetween some of the panels of the car and between the seam on outside mirrors that runs around the outside of the plastic housing. I always wash my car by hand but only did touch less one time because it was towards the end of winter and drive during the winter so I didn't wanna freeze my hands off. I would do it again if I had to, but I would just choose the lower level of cleaning with basically just soap and water being sprayed on.

Here the car washes are advanced. You see anything and everything at them. My local Aral station has nice wash that is typical of Germany -
You drive in, set the brake etc and walk out.
The machine moves around the car and they have a nice rotary brush that cleans the wheels etc. Cleans under the chassis in winter.

I use it 20% of the time and hand wash the other other 80%.

Zero issues. Even my neighbor takes his R8 there. No worries here at least.
