My sister recently got her 2024 330i in white. She loves it to death, her friends purchased a car wash pass at Petro Canada here in Canada, and they split the cost. 1 wash per day for a year and is split among the 3 of them. She gets a wash like every 2 days or something. But the thing is some of the car washes are not touch less. They are touch with bristles, and she showed me a video and I just cringed.
Then some are touchless, but regardless, aren’t the soaps in touchless washes bad for the vehicles clear coat? I am thinking of just cleaning it for her by hand and such. I’m mad at her because she isn’t taking care of this car she spent lots of money on.
Back near my parents house, we had a local car washer that only did the underside of your car. Made sense cuz in NY they salt the roads a lot and that’s a huge pain to clean. Other than that, probably 3x over the winter I washed it using a bucket and sponge. It gets cold here so it’s not something I’m eager to do, but I try to keep it free from excess dirt and rubble
