if you have to use a automatic car wash....
i have absolutely no time to wash my car (work, travel, etc) but it is kinda dirty....can i run it through a touchless wash without it leaking through? i'm guessing ones with brushes are awful, and ones with those things that hang are just as bad. i'm also guessing that i'm going to get reamed out by people who would never dare run their S2000 through an automatic machine.
am i better off leaving it dirty for another 3-4 weeks until i have time to wash it?

wash and wax forum! click the icon in my signature ...also the Honda S2000 manual says not to run it through an automated car wash
If you do not have any time maybe you can pay someone for their time to wash it? I say if possible, just suck it up and take the 30 minutes to do a quick car wash in your driveway or street to rinse off the dirt/grime.

I have taken mine through a touchless. I was in the same postion, just had no time. Water dripped through where the top meets the window but all else seems fine. I just wouldnt make it a habit.

I've done touchless as a last resort - I will not go through a brush wash. If I can't hand wash, I'll go to the do it yourself place and use the foamy brush - takes about ten minutes vs an hour if I do it by hand. I still hate doing that, but at least the brush will actually remove grime, unlike a touchless.

DO NOT GO THROUGH THE BURSHES!!!!!! I did with my explorer and started hearing a whacking sound half way through so I drove out real fast but it was too late. I dents all down the top of my fender and up the A pillar. The place wasn't laible for it either...... DON'T DO IT.
