Never again...after a few washes I notice really bad swirl marks. After hiring professional to buffer and polish, I just stick with touchless. I washed myself once with microfiber cloths and all. Still noticeable swirls appear. Just touchless for me.

Also, they can barely handle being told not to wash the car at all...I'm betting a request to wash wheels only will result in the entire car going through the swirl-o-matic.

Where's the "I had no frickin' clue Lexus would wash my car for free" option!?! Obviously when it's in for service I've gotten free washes, but I didn't know I could just drop in for a wash? I have some minor swirls, so its time for a detail but I can leave with a good detail once a year or so. My Z06 I don't let anybody touch though. The IS is a DD and if I can avoid washing it sometimes and make somebody else do it, then cool.

I bought my smoky granite mica IS250 3 days ago and went in for my first free wash this morning. Unforutnately, it came out and has the worst looking swirl marks I've ever seen on a new car. It looked awful, so I talked to the service manager and he agreed to have it polished soon. I'm really hoping that all the damage can be undone by the polish next week. I just can't believe that a lexus dealership would do this to their own cars. I figured I could trust their wash to not leave a ton of swirl marks.
So my question is, do you actually use the Lexus dealer wash? I've always washed my own cars, but this time I thought I could trust the dealer. I was wrong. BTW, dealership is Lexus of Austin...

My dealer only does a hand wash, which may be the reason that they only wash with a service.
I refuse to wash take my vehicles to a wash that has anything that touches the car. Spary washes or hand washe only!

I love the car wash at Lexus of Las Vegas. It's 100% touchless/brushless.

my dealer hand wash my car too, I told them about I'm worried of swirl marks, they said no worries, it won't happen. They washed twice already, I check the job after, and no swirl marks found.
