Guys it is just a car. If it will fit a automatic car wash without ripping the underside or scrape up the wheels I won't get a cent more out if it either way. I ran my Z06 through one of those touchless type washes except it had cloth brushes top and sides for a season and a half only problem I had was picking out the pieces of cloth out of the rear spoiler and that was a 100K car.

You need to get the salt underneath as well which won't come off with rinseless washes, good luck!
Don't know how car enthusias live in states where snows 3-4 months a year or even more.

I am enjoying life! It isn't like this is a collector car/limited production. The 2SS is a great car in cold weather- heated seats/steering wheel, warms up quickly, automatic climate control, and the weight balance make for a well handling winter car. My C2500 is terrible in the snow by comparison, no 4wd unfortunately.

OP I'm in MI too. Check this out for some ideas. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kmy92830C7g

I also highly recommend Glens docs-- so easy even a wife can do it!
I was able to do a pay and spray and rinseless combo on my husband's car this past Thursday with no problem. (It was 34 degrees) I also used a diluted rinseless in a spray bottle to pretreat the dirtiest areas. Don't cheap out on your Microfiber towels, get plenty of them.

I use drive through washes 3 times a week sometimes. As long as there is no physical contact ex: a spinning brush you will be fine. Its a presoak, soap, wax and sometimes rainx product sprayed on. Just be sure to not use any types with a track system. Otherwise you risk damaging your rims.

Why are you shouting? Ha Ha LOL

I use touchless an any day I get snow, water, puddles, or road spray.

Winter tires are narrow enough for rails easy - splitter is high enough.

Car has Ceramic Pro on it - wont wash by hand till the first good late winter day - meanwhile Im keeping her clean.

Well if its just a car a machine that takes you from point a to point b and you can drive it in the snow daily drive and use... then why you asked this question? just take it to next door joe's car wash!

Me? ... I am too addicted to the glass looking pain pure and beautiful to let my car be scratched like that.

The car sits in the garage for the winter and the wife drives the Subaru.... The camaro only gets hand washed....

[1LE801]

Touuchless washes ONLY and ONLY in a pinch.

[Marine Corps]

Some sound a little paranoid. I don't have access to a driveway so I go to a touch-less car wash without issues. I do wax often so my 2SS stays pristine. As they say, to each it's own.
