    Got it washed today. Went through a new "touchless" wash since the one I usually go to has been closed for two days due to severe cold . Needless to say I was super surprised when they have shit touching my car!!!!! I tore somebody a new one after that. They claimed it was touchless since they didn't have any rotating brushes, wtf is that shit. I don't think they understand what that word means.

    What did they have that was touching the car? That's pretty stupid on their part.

    OP: Drove it to work. I'll likely feed and wash it afterwards.

    Not sure what you would call it, but found a picture of what it looked like. They had two sets of them one right after the other.

    That's definitely TOUCHING the car ... and scratching the finish

    OP: I'm on vacation! The car is getting hosed off in about an hour, then washed. Tomorrow the heaters go on first thing in the AM so by mid morning I can clay bar and wax. There she'll sit until next Tuesday.

    That's almost worse! WTH? Touchless? Are they MORONS?

    The only thing I do to my car in the winter is use spray it off by hand using the local heated pressure washer bay. I personally corrected the paint on my car last spring and will be again this spring. NO WAY I let people touch my car, let alone wash it. Last spring, prior to correcting the paint, I used a THREE bucket wash method... Usually I only do two. lol

    I feel for ya bro!

    How can a soft cloth scratch the finish? It's the same thing as washing your car with a mitt.
