Question

Another newbie-type question I'm afraid. At the risk of being laughed off these forums, is it OK to take my Scoob through an auto car-wash, or am I risking damage to the bodywork, paintwork, spoiler etc?

Sensible replies only please!!!

Brushless wash is fine. Won't get ya motor very clean though. Get y sponge out
Some car washes will argue with the rear spoiler, and from what i can tell, the wash will win the battle hands down.

As I suspected, glad I haven't chanced it yet then. Thanks very much for the info, extremely helpful as the replies on these boards usually are.
