Car washes are big no-no's for this car. I've heard nothing but horror stories. IMO

However.... next time take a can of Pledge with you... Lemon scented if you like... spray down the panels and don't wipe it off. Then after the track the rubber will wash right off! I've also seen guys just use the quick detailer spray...

The only way I could see you damaging your car with the kind of car wash I use is if I put the sprayer like an inch from the paint. And if I was that dumb, I would deserve the damage I cause. |

you can hope you get the normal tree, try staging a pro tree.....it skipps yellows.
agree with the pledge keeping the rubber from sticking too bad......... i use 3M spray mask for bodyshops. it is soap, and dries pretty clear, so the rubber sticks to the goo and not the paint. it all washes off with a wand. works awesome for highway trips and bugs. I spray it in the wheelwells and paint areas for the track. i mix it with enough water to spray out of a squirtbottle for mobile application, i apply it with a old paint gun back at the shop. JUST NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER USE DUPLICOLOR "SHEILD". p.s. dealers frown on it when you have half a tire of rubber stuck to your car.
