My sister recently got her 2024 330i in white. She loves it to death, her friends purchased a car wash pass at Petro Canada here in Canada, and they split the cost. 1 wash per day for a year and is split among the 3 of them. She gets a wash like every 2 days or something. But the thing is some of the car washes are not touch less. They are touch with bristles, and she showed me a video and I just cringed.
Then some are touchless, but regardless, aren’t the soaps in touchless washes bad for the vehicles clear coat? I am thinking of just cleaning it for her by hand and such. I’m mad at her because she isn’t taking care of this car she spent lots of money on.
I don’t ever use the giant sandpaper roller washes. I do use the touchless ones, never had a problem with them in any of my cars in the 30(?) years I’ve been using them.
That being said, I don’t wash my car too frequently either. Depends on the weather and how dirty she is. If there’s been no rain, I can go months without washing. If its been raining weekly for weeks, I won’t bother to wash either.
Winter time is very difficult, most places stay closed due to frequent freezing temperatures.
