Car Wash -- does a new Camaro deserve such treatement?

[jonm38]

I don't use car wash places no more. I used it with other vechiles, NOT with my Camaro and the ground effects. I make dirty faces if I see a Camaro in the car wash.

In the cold months I'll take it in the no touch wash near me, but it just doesn't do the job.

I took mine through a touch free carwash once to see how good it would clean, and it failed miserably... Left hard water stains all over the car, had to hand wash it when I got home, never going through a car wash again.

If its got rails and rollers that push the car thru your rims can get damaged,I only use the brushless ones or hand wash mine...

Touchless all the time for me! Just think about it,you rinse the sponge in dirty water and chances
are there is dirt scratching your paint. Touchless
is nothing but water.

Newer touchless have nothing in the floor to harm your wheels. I have an 06 Vette that looks
like the day I bought it and all it's ever seen
is touchless.

I only hand wash Eleanore.

You should look up the 2-bucket method of hand washing.

Really, who cares. It's not going to do anything more to the car than handwashing would. I use touchless carwashes all the time, they get it cleaner than I could probably ever, and it's not doing anything near noticeable to my paint. And for real, it's a $30,000 car. Not a Ferarri. I know lots of people work very hard for their Camaros, but let's get real here.

Now something I wouldn't use one of those gas station sprayers on any car. Those are just terrible. Its one step down from literally powerwashing your car.

i did it once before i fully detailed my car (adams products and PC) i dont think ill do it again after the detail job since it took a day and a half to fully detail the car and auto car wash will def. leave swirls and scratches!

[Scrapppy666]

nothing wrong with touchless for a quickie *IF* the car isn't too dirty it works well... typically I'll run over it with detail spray after

[brandi576]

I normally hand wash my car but i have taken it thru a touchless car wash once for a quick removal of bird dirt..I dont even take my dodge ram to a car wash unless its a touchless one, i dont trust what may be stuck on those brushes from previous cars!
