I wanted to leave the "warning" sticker on but the dealer peeled it off. Never tried touchless washes. If you can find a hand car wash place, this is the best bet (other than doing it yourself)

Anyone in the chicagoland area, I go to Park Place Hand Car Wash in Third Lake, IL. No high pressure jets, no rollers, hand wash, with a light "rain" like rinse. They still send it through a machine rail but the rail is just short enough that it doesn't touch the bodywork.
