I have only had mine washed by hand, but I would figure that if you went to one of the no-touch car washes we have around here, then you should be find.

Just the thought of my Evo in a automatic car wash makes me cringe! Never ever ever!

I've done it 3 or 4 times, absolutely fine. Don't use the brush machines though, touchless only
