A black EVO going though the bristles constantly will put little scratches all over the damn thing. Hand wash it or use a touch-free system.

With a black car I wouldn't use it too much.

And in my experience, most dealers try to do whatever they can as cheaply as possible. I wouldn't count on that washer being very soft on the car.

If you can't do it yourself take it to a hand car wash! No if, and or buts!

i would never go through a machine wash. Touchless is ok. Requires alittle towel work and detail mist when done, but its better then trying to wash my own car in the dead of a Chicago winter.

So you lose a couple fingers due to frostbite and your neighbors look at you like you're on crack...at least you know your baby was cleaned the right way

i go to the touch free car wash as well, the only thing is you have to clean the wheels and tires after.

I heard that the swirling thingy that does the roof of the car can catch on the wing and rip it off. Because of this I have never taken it to an automatic car wash. Anyone else hear this too?

Don't use it if you have a lot of dirt on your car!

here is something to think about. What would you rather have done, Big Bruno with a brillo pad giving you a bath, or Hot nurse betty giving you a sponge bath with her... well you get the idea now think about what your car would like.
