I go through touch less when it's just way too could to stand outside. There is no issue with them. They have lasers that figure everything out before it starts and then it does its thing. It only uses high water pressure. There are no brushes or anything that touches your car. Most car washes will have a sign that specifies if it's a touch less or not.
What I will do sometimes is put the car through a touchless, then use a waterless or rinseless wash to make it shine.

The only issue I have with Touchless washes are that sometimes they don't get all of dirt/salt off.

My car lives in a touchless during winter. And based on his Instagram, so does Wireeater's.
LOL, even my avatar. The only time I wash my car in my driveway is when I do a full detail.

Found an acceptable spot to add my forum handle, 'GTP'. Black on black, so it's subtle. (Zoom in to see the 3D depth of this badge.)
Also finished the kinda cheesy front caliper bling. Eh, also subtle from a distance.

Curious on your opinion after install ... I took my BMR CB006 off the next day after installation as there's too much impact harshness for me although the trade-off was a more "on-rails" feel on fast turns.

Anyone wanna buy a virtually new CB006? :D

Impact harshness? How so? I have the same brace and experience zero impact harshness :shrug:

You went the route I would go if I had to rebuy again. After I purchased my Mustang I made the mistake of browsing the classified section and realized I could have gotten way more for a mildly used car.

I have the Borla S CBE and absolutely love everything about it. It's probably the main reason I love my car so much. The sound is intoxicating from low revs, to high RPM curve busting.

Here's what I said to another member at the time:

"It definitely added harshness but only when driving over sharp bumps like you get on roads where they've joined the asphalt and you have a bump line across the lane.

Drove across the 401 today (a drive I've done many times before in the Mustang) and I've never noticed the harshness over those bumps before until today. It was actually quite frustrating to experience as they say "no NVH".

It's a metal brace bolted directly to the lower bolt of the lower control arm which is then bolted to the sub-frame ... now that I look back on it, of course there's going to be harshness from wheel impacts!"

I think I recall reading that before I purchased the CB006. Interesting.... I don't doubt what you feel or you would not have taken it off. Do you have many (if any) suspension mods? I'm running RideTech coilovers so my ride is firmer than stock and may be the reason that harshness is not felt by me.

I actually sent that to another member via PM so it wasn't me you read it from. My mods are in my sig but yeah the coilovers could've made it such that you didn't notice it.

I will say that it does tighten up the car a bit and for those that like to road track their car it's a worthwhile mod.

Same here Jeff.
Well,....not my Mustang, but my truck. I hate that it's too cold to hand wash from November to March. The second alternative is a touchless.
