Is it ok to run a vinyl wrapped roof through a touchless carwash?

Like title states, this is the first time I've had a vehicle roof wrapped in vinyl.

On the occasions where I don't have the time to hand wash or it's too damn cold to, will it be fine to run through a touchless wash? I assume it would since there is no brushes or any of that.

Mine has held up greatly going thru car washes with no issues.

Thanks. I figured it would be fine just didn't want to cause damage when I didn't have to.

I was actually told the opposite on my Vinyl (not roof): Car washes with brushes or the pads are okay, but the brushless high pressure water can lift under an edge.

It really depends on your edges, if they did a proper job then it shouldn't be an issue, but i'd do a quick walk around and make sure all the edges are facing down or tucked so high pressure water can't get in, pal :thumbsup:
