You should post this over in the detail section and see what the gurus say.

Quarter wash bay in the winter even if its cold out. Im asked all the time at work how my car is so clean. Summer time its hand wash only.

kinda funny this post came up.

I did my 1st touchless wash ever yesterday on my way to the bar. (ladies cant be seen in a dirty car) and I would for sure use it again. the 8$ and 10 min it takes is well worth it. Dont get me wrong it doesnt beat washing it your self but it does a very good job of getting all the huge spots on the car.

I would never use a brush auto wash those things are well known to destroying your car.

1. auto guided tracks mess up your rims
2. the jets always hit your mirrors
3. that huge brush is full!!! of rocks and sand

If you wanted a cheap way to strip your oem paint off before you had your car repainted then I would say a auto brush wash is the right choice.
