Thenew3 and all others. Elbe carefulmof the dealer washes. I personally try to avoid them. Here is the logic.

Some and probably most dealer use a automated wash system similar to the ones at the local car wash/auto spa. Here is the problem. That automated system has brushes or cloths that are 1 Most likely not changed or even cleaned as much as they should be. 2. All the dirt, micro contaminants from previous washes are probably embedded in the brushes and have a very high probability of being brushed across your car. They are called automated scratch installers for a reason. If you have a dealer or shop that uses a hand wash as in human hand wash with proper drying techniques then fine, other wise I stay away. Same deal for rental vehicles. Have you ever noticed that they don’t dry and in most cases look worse than not washing at all? Add the local fund raiser car washes to that list. They are the worst, they use terry cloth towels and again add swirls and scratches.

I decline the wash about 99 percent of the time for this very reason.
