Z through car washes
 
I love auto carwashes. Dont hate, my G (with scrach sheild paint) has been through hundreds of times and looks great!

At any rate, any problems with running a Z through because of ground clearance?

I'm talking to you Kenchan! You know which one I go to.

If I really, really had to do it, I would run it through a touchless carwash. I would be scared about my rim being scratched though. There was a warning stick on my car warning me not to take it through the carwash because it will damage the spoiler. So, if I did not want to wash it myself, I just pay extra to get it hand washed.

I clean my own car... it always looks awesome because no slouch in a car wash is going to pay as much attention to detail as me.:tup:

ill never go through a auto car wash. Had one blow up and sent metal flying at my hood and windshield with my cobalt. Scratched the hood up real bad to.

You could NOT pay me to bring this car through a carwash!!!

If you absolutely have to, go touchless. But I'd love to see pictures of your G looking "great" after hundreds of express car washes.

Touchless is fine depending on the bump stop things that keep you in place while inside the machine.

I would just walk over to it before driving through just to make sure.

I'm too low to make it in one of those so I don't even bother.

I drive a roadster, so unless I want to experience Niagara Falls inside my Z.....

For me the Z is spooky low and its rims are WAY too exposed to risk even a touchless car wash. All of the car washes that I've seen lately have some sort of guide or track on the floor and no way am I risking my sport package rims in that environment. But a touchless wash without a track or guide would probably be ok.

I only wash the car every few weeks but I clean it with detail spray a couple of times a week. It only takes 10 minutes and the car always looks great.

I bring my Z throught a car wash, but not for long. As soon as its is repainted and new wing goes on it will not go in again. I have the sport wing on now and have no problems. The nismo wing does have a warning about no going throught a car wash. Any wing biger than the sport wing I would not suggest it. I have had no issues with the Z in the car wash in about 60 washes.
