Helpful Hint
 
Although I know 95% of us have the ownership pride and probably wash our cars by hand, we should stay away from any temptation to enter one of these so-called "Touchless Carwashes".

Don't be fooled. From what I hear they still scratch your car.

i don't think its so much that it will scratch your car, i think its the fact that it the high pressure water , driers and hox wax could possibly damage the top??

I can't speak personally for the s2000 but most high end paint jobs you find on sports cars the Clear Coat is very very soft. All of the high pressure water damages it and coating your ENTIRE car in wax is bad for it anyways..... Zaino all the way do it by hand don't be lazy

Never a temptation for me. Repulsion, yes.

No I did not, never have, and never will. I just wanted to make sure no one else does.

Are these the kinds without brushes or foam dealies? Because I know those scratch your car since the brushes clean hundreds of cars and have little bits of dirt in them that scratch...

Give it a rest Arizona. He gets it.

Someone once drove thru a touchless wash and asked our opinion.
Don't rub it in.

The manual says not to because it will case leaks with the top. Base your decision on that.
