Hey Marc A I some kind of impressed with the top end in your car if that is what it did to your roof. Or is that what my roof would have looked like after the car wash. Thanks for the advice as always. Bill

I have a co-worker that takes his very expensive Audi's and BMW's through these things and he's never damaged his paint or rims with the good laser guided washes.
Beats letting the salt work at your paint for weeks on end...

I have taken my Cab. through those touchless washes and must tell you I have had no problem with them. They do a pretty good job, expecially handy in the winter. I don't use the wax treatment at the end, however. The ones I have used have a wheel guide at the left side of the car only and if you stay to the right a little when going through it, it won't touch your wheel.

I admit to taking mine to the wand-type wash
Our county has mandatory water restrictions preventing washing your car at home (unless you're on well water) - the reservoir has been up to snuff for months now, but the political deadbeats here just need to get with the program (they sell water to other municipalities)...
