never, ever, ever, ever use an automatic car wash, they leave swirls in the paint and really screw up the finish. I did once, and spent hours and hours claybaring the paint to get those damn swirls out, and STILL could see them. Yes, touchless, the high pressure sprayers do this. Always wash by hand using a mitt, no sponge and if you drop it, throw it away and buy another one. Now, if you don't give a crap about your paint, well, why ask then?
