Anybody Been to a Bee Clean Carwash?

There is this excellent automated carwash in San Antonio. I took my SUV through but, unsure if my Z sits too low.

Automatic car washes are for people that can't live without scraped wheels and swirl marks.

Maybe if your Z is White...

But Dark colors ? No auto car wash ever, never, ever.

NO Carwashes for me, not in my Z at least, I rather do it myself and it takes about 30 min tops.

You might as well piss in a rusty bucket and then dip a pinecone as your wash mitt.

It would be a cold day in hell before I take any of my cars to a car wash. And just because the paint is a light color menas the swirls may be less obvious, but they are still there nonetheless.

Just wash it yourself, which can be done in the time it takes to drive to the car wash, wait for the car to be done, then drive wherever you are going after.
