what do you think? my buddy works at shell and often give me free top of the line car wash for my old 91' Yoda truck. it's a touch less machine wash.
is it a good idea to take my rsx in? has anyone ever taken their rsx through one of them and got into any water trouble?
i want to know before i do it. i am lazy and tired of waiting for the F****** rain to stop. and plus it's FREE car wash!

Haha, sounds like you viewed the thread where this really happened! Anyways, dude, nothing beats a hand-washed vehicle. Besides, since it is raining, it's just going to get dirty again. I mean, if it's that big of a deal to you, go for it since it's free. Won't do the best job (touchless), but it's better than nothing.

I would suggest to avoid touchless washes.

No touch = chemicals

If it's one of those washes with the auto twirly brushes, imagine trying to clean your car by slapping a rag at it. God only knows what kind of rocks or debris got caught up in the twirlies before they started slapping your car.....

Are you serious???

It is a car.

It is able to go through a car wash.

Why does everyone thing this is like a frickin lambo and only God can wash it, it's a damn car, it will be fine in any car wash.

i agree nothing beats a good old scrubbing by hand. but theres quite a few touchless carwashes around my way and they are good for the winter time when its cold and you just wanna blast off the salt and road grit for 5 dollars. plust most of them do the undercarrage when you pull into it.
