brand new evo8 (with a small spoiler??)
blobeye wrx
classic wrx with sti2 rear spoiler
went in today, amongst the other 186 cars that went in.
we prewash all wheels before the car goes in to remove the brake dust
the red bits on my car are coverd in swirls, and its NEVER been through a carwash, and i had the red painted on about 1.5years ago?
thats not from washing every few days........

My 2p's worth......
If you can't be bothered to clean it by hand and you're worried about a car wash, why not use a jet wash? It does require a bit more work on your part but it's not to much effort and the finish is far better IMO.
Take a Chamois Leather with you and you can wipe it down as well

Having worked at a car wash for a couple of years, I'd not put any car through one, regardless of shape. The brushes are abrasive and add that nice spider's web effect to your paint work, and I dread to think what the super-wax-foam washes are like, after seeing what it does to your skin if you get it on you by accident...

Any form of car washing is detrimental to your paintwork.
The best solution is never to wash your car at all. Your paintwork will (probably) be in perfect condition under all that cack (and if it isn't you won't know so won't have to worry about it). Has the added bonus of acting as a anti-Gatso measure.
It's a car. Drive it.
