I have put my car through one of the best automated car wash facilitys available almost on a daily basis for the past 2 years without any noticeable problems.
Some Kwik trip gas stations have automatic washes, those will take everything off the car. On a previous car I was parked under a pine tree for a month, went to kwik trip to wash, high pressure took clear coat and thinned the paint on the roof. Learned the hard way how acidic that pine sap is and the need to clean it off not only sooner but also with low pressure.Touchless car washes don't do very well with bugs.

Kwik trips wash has a great under car spray when you enter and heaters to dry the car when you exit.
We have the same thing here in Colorado Springs. I pay $20 a month and can go once a day. In about 15 minutes, the car is cleaned, wiped down and vacuumed. Just too easy to keep it clean that way.buy a month long pass.. If you go to the wash more than 6 times a month, those passes are already paid for.
Right now, I'm doing $25.00 a month, can go once, everyday if I want. And this one has all the perks.. Lava shield, Hotwax, RainX, and tire shine. It does a great job, and has free Vacs as well..
their standard wash here is $6.00 with no plan.. The wash I'm getting is $12.00 without the plan.. Great Value if you ask me.
You mean free rinse cycle and air dry. I will take Rain-X car wash and a mitt and wash in a really bad rain if lightning isn't near....The good thing is spring tends to rain a lot around here. FREE CAR WASH!...
You can clay bar them and there is also a solvent that you can you use to remove it ... i do not remember the chemical compoundMy uncle hand washed his CTS nearly once a day during the summers, and the hard water from the outside faucet ruined the windows...you can see hard water stains on them and they look like crap. The only fix it to have them replaced, so he left them alone. Still anal about washing it thought.
