Car Washes
 

I'm wondering if there is any problem with taking a vert to a touch less car wash. Do any of you guys use them? Any problems?
I would like to get the under body wash occasionally.
Thanks

Just me but I would never take my black car to ANY car wash.

I two bucket wash it myself. I don't wash the convertible top every time. When I do I use the Adam's horse hair brush.

I pressure wash my driveway/brick paths every Spring. I have been thinking of jacking up the Camaro and using the pressure washer on the low setting.

I ALWAYS hand wash or take it to the dealer for a $25 hand wash and dry and interior clean. I NEVER take my 'vert to a car wash.

I was just outside this morning at 0700 washing and drying it. I ALWAYS use a chamois (shammy) cloth to dry it. 1st things that get dried are the windshield and rear window so as to avoid *ugly* water spots.

I hand wash blacky.

Save your money and hand wash . It gives you some one on one time with your car . :love::love:

I hand wash. I have been using Turtle ICE with good results.

I have used the "automatic" car wash but I always use the "touchless" washes, I do it generally twice a year with the under carriage spray.

Never use a car wash that uses those long microfibre pads or worse the spinning brushes.

If you are going to use a automatic car wash, I would ask the attendent if any convertibles have used it before. If they dont know or are not sure, don't use it.

I watched a Chrysler seabring convertible go through the touchless wash in my town and have used it about 4 times since that day with no issues. No leaks either.

The preference is the touchless wash that has the robotic arm that uses lazers to judge your car.

Last note.. just do a basic wash avoid wax and tire treatment.

Also avoid any that PULL your car through, only use the drive in and park type of touchless.

Hope this helps.

I use the wand at the carwash but would never take my vert thru an automatic, touchless or not.

+1 that's what I mean by hand wash.

I would never wash my rag top in a automated car wash. Rag tops need special attention and care.

With great power comes great responsibility... :)

If you want a swirlfree finsh, you must never let the dealer touch your paint. No matter what.

I sometimes go through the touch less wash, everything seems fine, I get a little drip down the inside of the passenger door window.

Thanks. I would never use anything but touch less. I am just interested in the under body spray.

I got my 2013 vert last year. I have taken it through touchless several times. No issues. I use two different places. One has a special wash for cloth tops. The other doesn't spray hard on the top at all with the option I choose.

I'm about to start doing my own washes and detailing by hand but I will still use touchless and wand on occasion. Particularly to get the under carriage done. I know it's pretty minimal but some cleaning is better than no cleaning, especially here in New England. I push my driving season to December and take it back out in March so I need to be cautious of salt.
