Those things are a waste of money unless you just want a quick rinse. They never get my car clean like you would think they would...Just my .02

Thats all I need is a quick rinse. The point of the touchless wash for me is not to clean my car but get the salt off the undercarraige

There's a Carroll Fuel on York Rd near where Agile use to be that has a touchless wash. Quick rinses are just fine especially when it's cold as hell and all you really want to do is blast off some road salt.

The chemicals they use to remove the salt and other dirt will remove the clearcoat on the Brembos and cause your calipers to peel and fade... use at your own risk!!!
If you can get it to wash without using any soap you should be OK though.
