I’m not real OCD about this but no, I do not run my 911 through a car wash.
i also would not look askance at anyone who did.
”For me”, I find doing my weekly wash and wax on my car is a pleasant hour or two to myself. As my daily driver, I get a kick out of trying to keep it as clean and well maintained as I can. Only real challenge over the years is I’ve never found a good solution for dealing with German brake dust other than elbow grease lol.

Wash tunnel with brushes is a no no in my book. Brushless is also a no no because of very harsh chemicals. Do it yourself wash bay could be used in a pinch to rinse but having a power washer at home, a few buckets and some brushes and mitts, will get the job done with better chemicals and car will be treated better.

On road trips, I have taken mine a the self-serve car wash and used only the sprayer, sometimes soap and water, sometimes only water. I then let it air dry (preferably at speed!) so I don't risk trying to towel dry with any remaining grit.

My 911 is black and I never would. I take my black Cayenne through the car wash and the paint is trashed from it. That being said, the 911 is a weekend driver that has had the paint corrected and is ceramic coated. I enjoy washing by hand.

Most of the time hand wash myself as it’s a quite enjoyable experience on a sunny afternoon under the shades of our north facing garage with kid running around and messing with soapy water etc. But when needed or just not in the mood for an hour long wash no sweat taking it to a diy wash station either. As a it has a full wrap and b it’s my toy for relieving stress not the other way around.
