Ive used automatics this winter for convenience but like you I hand wash during the summer. however whenever I use the automatic I detail spray the whole car when I get it home in the garage. For example Mothers Showtime Detailer. Quick easy and gets rid of anything and everything the automatic left behind.

except the scratches

if i were gonna use auto car washes in winter, i'd just use them in summer too. i figure once you go the route of letting your car get scratched up, might as well just do it all the time..

What we dont have guys here that do that man haha, thats funny tho. They just have the big air blow dryers when you pull out to dry off, then I go home and use that quick detailer spray as I dry

I would prefer to hand wash but I have been traveling a bit for work so I am not home during the week and I dont have access to wash it myself. I'll have to check if there are any touchless car washes in the area. Thanks for the feedback guys!
