My Panamera is a daily driver. I don't care to keep it showroom new and I don't have time or desire to hand wash very often but I do like it clean. In Indy, we have Mike's Carwash which is better than most automatics and that's what I use about once a week. I do put it in high suspension mode and have had zero problems. Hope this helps. No need to flame because I don't care one way or the other.

It all depends on what is important to you and what is reasonable. If your only real option is a touchless wash, combine it with a detail spray and some good microfiber. If you just don't care, and drive a Porsche only to impress strippers and $5 dollar prostitutes, or to compensate for your other shortcomings, just run it through the gas station swirlomatic..

I'd look around a little closer for a touchless. In Wisconsin I'd most of our car washes have both options. We have some that the same car wash you pull up to you can choose between soft touch(big no no) or touchless.
I have to believe you got some touchless car washes around or at least not that far of a drive away. They are way cheaper to put into car wash bays over the soft touch systems.

Please may I know where is this?

When I was in Wisconsin, there were no choices during the subzero temps but go through a touchless. Yes, some had a choice of touchless or bristles. The bristles one could almost see the clearcoat being sandblasted. Touchless also did the underbody. Wisconsin is very very liberal with salt. Now in warmer climate, once a week, good garden hose with a foam cannon and some Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash & Wax (prolly marketing hype about the ceramic part.)
