I've never been to one of these though, so I can't comment on exactly how it works.

I've used the touchless machine often. You stay in the car and it's ok if the car is just dusty---then you finish the drying yourself with your own shammois on the lot. If the car is really dirty, it's no good----it just removes the outer layer of dust and when it dries, the car is still dirty. It's probably no better than the powerwash wand, which is a lot cheaper and what I use, as my Z is only a summer only, fair weather car and only gets dusty. But I'm getting lazy and thinking of using the automatic brushless washes with the crew that dries the car, etc. The opinions on those are mixed. With our delicate paint, I'm very hesitant and I'll probably continue to hand wash with the power wash wand and dry off myself. It does make for a nice job if the car's not too dirty and you're willing to make the effort.
