Default Opti-Coat Pro and automated car washes

We are considering the professional application of Opti-Coat Pro to my wife's Audi Q5 daily driver. This car does not get hand washed, but instead is cleaned at automated car washes. Should we have a concern about any negative impact on the finish or durability of the Opti-Coat by using these automated care washes?

Aside from the already obvious cons of an automatic non hand car wash, the OptiCoat Pro will be fine.

Are we talking automated touchless or automated "Friction?"

Big difference. In the case of the application of Opti Coat, did you speak to your installer about a maintenance program? Much safer than automated.
