Even if my car was on fire, I would not go through a tunnel wash to squelch the flames of furry.

Please post your VIN so we know in the future how you abused your car.

Don't know about the undercarriage but it will probably kill your wheels scraping down the rails.

Look, I get what you guys are saying, but the fact is that 90 percent of PCar owners don't give a crap about the car. I had to have mine fixed by a pro to get it back as it had obviously been in the car wash... and not the touchless kind.

We all know its bad.. boo.. no car washes.. but a lot of people do, so might be good to actually answer the question.

I have washed my past 5 Porsches with water and a mitt, nothing else. I have dried them with Master Blaster. I get innumerable compliments on the street and in shows. Now, let the vile, objectionable responses begin! Don't forget the name-calling!
