Default Car Wash

There is a nice brushless car wash near my house that I use when I don't have time to do it by hand or just to clean the dust off real quick.
It uses the little jets of water under pressure.
Is this ok for the soft top?
This is my first convertable so I'm not sure if this would be ok on occation or if I just should steer away from it all together.

I would not go through any auto carwashes with an S2000 (well, any car for that matter).

1) The carwashes with brushes cause swirls and other damage to the paint.

2) The touchless carwashes use high pressure jets that can cause damage to the convertible top seals.

I would steer away from it altogether.
