Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed.

Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.

    Going to probably be the oddball but I daily drive a Maserati and go with touch everytime. Specifically ‘EverClean’ car wash, a chain that recently started popping up in my area.

    It’s a monthly subscription (another one I know) but for like 15$ unlimited full service washes, and I’ve never had an issue.

    People scoff when I say I take it through auto car washes, but the reality is unless some major cosmetic damage happens, the “swirling” or scratches arent an issue.

        Financed for first 3 months to trial then paid off in full.

        I got a good price and bafflingly haven’t had an issue for the past 10k miles. I was prepared to be hitting up the auto shop 4-5 times a year.

          Right on. I’ve heard these can be a nightmare to maintain - I hope yours stays trouble-free
