I thought touchless wash means nothing touches your car (other than water, et al). The place I went to says it means there are no touching brushes. But they still have those snake looking things that dangle down, touch the car.

Since the water is hard at my house and leaves freaking powdery white stains everywhere on the car, and I can no longer go through my favorite drive thru automatic wash, I guess I will need to start going here: 10 min from my house, the "bikini" girls handwash and vaccum for like $11

for a basic wash, yes...there is not much science behind a sponge and a bucket of soap water. Not a full detail with high speed buffer, various chemicals, etc.

If you don't care about swirls you are fine.

I've been there and watched them drop sponges and towels only to pick them up and keep right on washing.... Science: Sand + Sponge = effed up paint.

Every now and then I use the "touchless" car wash because we're under drought restrictions here in Central Texas. We are prohibited from washing our car except on our appointed irrigation day(Wednesday). The local "touchless" does a fairly good job and uses "spotless water". Since my Mustang is a vert, I can check my water-tightness. No leaks at all. The best wash is $9.00 but I believe the bikini babe wipe down would be worth an extra 2 bucks. Good thing there are none of those bikini-washes near me...I would be getting a car wash daily! What did you expect? After all I am a Rough Hollow Man.

How to wash your car properly:

If you want your car's paint to look like crap within months, then by all means use sponges and terry towel wipedowns. Then you will require a full cut polish to make it shine again.

I use the touchless wash only during the winter time on the daily driver when it is too cold to wash by hand. It is completely touchless. The only things that touch the vehicle are soap and water. It doesn't do the greatest job, but for a quickie winter wash to get the salt and road grime off, it works.
The Roush never goes to the car wash.
