The book clearly says the car wash will damage the wheel.... What the hell is this about....<p>I was not planning on hand washing my car every time... It gets cold here in the northeast....<p>We need some sort of wheel guards for car washing... What a concept.. <p>

I certainly won't be when I get mine. I think you have two issues with a car wash.<br>One. I believe the wing mirrors do not fold?<br>Two. Car washes usually have tyre guide which may scrape the alloys.<p>Why not use a jet wash?<br>

Don't know if they are in your area, but in my area of CT we have numerous places called &quot;Splash&quot; -- they will hand wash your car (nt)

Besides the wheels gettting scratched up the antenna located on the roof could get damaged, and dent the roof and leak water into the car! It would be easier to have the car hand washed or with a "touchless" wash

You should never put you car through a car wash. They always contain minute particles of dirt, which scratch metal.You should always hand wash your car or pay somebody else to it for you.

It's a synthetic chamois, that takes a little getting used to. See Trak Auto.

Craig, don't do it!!! I've taken my SCX to a brushless car wash a couple times (Darien, Ct actually) and the paint is -horribly- dull now. I am going to need to hand compound it or even re-clearcoat to get the luster back. Plus you never know how harsh the soap they are using will be--and it seems to always strip the wax off.<p>I've sworn I'd freeze my knuckles off rather than subject either the SCX (and definitely the TT, once I get it) to that punishment. From now on, my cars will be hand washed with the mildest soap and the softest towels. Its worth the effort and inconvenience.
