Car Wash?
Has anyone taken their cab through a touchless car wash and had any damage to the top? I recently purchased an E550 cab and hate all the crap that gets on it in the winter. Normally I would hand wash, but that gets difficult in the winter.

I have run my cab through the touchless car wash probably three or four times in the course of a year. I see no evidence of damage and in fact the top looks much better than when I hand wash it. I think it is much better to have a touchless car wash than to leave all the "crap" that gets on a car during the winter. Street salt and sand, air pollution, dirty snow etc... I would not over do it but during the winter, sounds like a good idea to me.

I've done it several times without issue. Living in Massachusetts, it is a necessity sometimes, especially to get under carriage (winter s**t, road salt). Sorry, but I cannot accept any car, even a luxury car is so delicate, it cannot survive occasionally going through a touchless car wash.

I use whatever brushless car wash there is (they're all brushless now). Been doing it a couple of times a month for 3 years at least.
My dealer runs them through a local car wash after service so I don't worry too much about it.

The important thing to remember is to defeat the auto trunk option with the foot. If you don't, the undercarriage sprays could falsely open your trunk as it's being washed.
