On another note, Me and a few friends are going to be heading out to the Autobahn CC in Joliet in late March or early April for a track day weather permitting, let me know if you are interested.

You are just asking for trouble, lose a mirror, scrape a wheel, swirl marks from brushes if it's not touchless or a list of other things that could go wrong.
Maybe its a topless car wash

^^^LOL All good fellas....I think we just care about microcolt's car so much that it brings a tear to our eye seeing that he takes it through a car wash, and not even a touchless at that! Keep her clean and swirl free guys...

No hard feelings micro...just making sure you don't rip off a side mirror...

Zephyr strikes again.. LOL! Bro, take it easy on the newbies in this forum.. U r scaring them away. Btw, are u also from Chicago? Give some love to a homie. Lol

As for OP, I understand how hard it is to hand wash a car in the cold winter months.. So I only wash my minivan (winter car) in a touchless car wash, it helps keep the swirl away.

I took mine through a wash, and the same thing happened to me. Car stalled at the end when I pulled forward for it to start drying. The only reason I was there was to wash the nasty salt off underneath after having to drive through PA and mountains of WV back to NC. That was the first and last time it will see salt, and a car wash.. ever..
