A good way to find out is to get one of their loaner cars and look at the finish. I bet the finish looks pretty swirled out!

 

Yeah, I don't let the dealer wash my car either.

 

Neither do I. Back when I had a Saturn, the service department washed it by hand and did a great job. The MINI dealer has a drive through, with spinning brushes, so no way do I want my car in there with the doughnut on the stubby. :nonod:

If it is truly touchless it won't hurt much, but they do a crappy job IMO.

People often fail to realize that the damage from a car wash can happen at any stage whether rinsing, soaping, or drying. Just because a person wipes a car down doesn't make it safe if he just wiped your wheels and then wipes your bonnet with the same towel. I have a client that has maintained his black M6 flawlessly for two years after I worked on it. He uses the local hand wash too. But he makes them use his towels, Prima products, and he watches them like an eagle to make sure they don't scratch his paint. Works for him lol.

Ok just watched the video. Interesting promo video. I don't necessarily agree with it but it's nice to know they are trying to address the issues!

 

I used them in the winter time to get the salt and grime off, (particularly the wheel wells) and it worked fine. They actually have (had?) people working there do a walk around to make sure nothing will fall off, put plastic to protect the windshield wipers and when the wash was done, they took the plastic off. I was so impressed, I even tipped him a couple of bucks.

I'm of the impression that, in a rush, they did a better job than most of those "hand wash" places.

Once spring came around and the weather improved, I did a hand detail myself.

 

Anyone tried this? I like them and the car is always really clean + they wash a car with less than a quarter gallon of water.
