Anybody Been to a Bee Clean Carwash?

There is this excellent automated carwash in San Antonio. I took my SUV through but, unsure if my Z sits too low.

Automatic car washes are for people that can't live without scraped wheels and swirl marks.

Maybe if your Z is White...

But Dark colors ? No auto car wash ever, never, ever.

Impossible to do it properly in 15 minutes. It usually takes me at least an hour to wash from start to finish, including drying the car. Knowing how many hours it takes to correct the paint from bad car wash habbits, you realize that it's not that much more work to wash it properly and avoid swirl marks in the paint.

NO Carwashes for me, not in my Z at least, I rather do it myself and it takes about 30 min tops.
