I highly recommend you NOT to use these kinds of car washes. You will have swirl marks all over the places on your paint. Every time I go there, I asks for no car wash. May be it is just me but I wash it all myself and for 2 years, the paint has little to no swirl. I'm just a detailing freak.

Problems:
1. The touchless clean system can not clean effectively.
2. The drying process is what can cause swirl marks on the paint if the technicians are not careful and just swipe swipe swipe swipe it clean. They may use the same towel on many cars and you don't even know.

yeah, I was worried about the scratches.

I polished my car not too long ago, so I want to keep the swirls away.

Can't say you didn't tell me so.......

Got the car back from recall with a bunch of swirl marks.

Looks like I'll be doing a few days of buffing again with the polisher.

Eh, I have an appointment tomorrow and will be sure to ask for no car wash.

Do you vacuum/clean the interior? I might just ask for that.
