I use brushless, touchless self service car wash and it works great.

With the Ceramic Pro treatment it comes out clean with the economy wash. Doing it my self at home is always preferred, but agree it takes an hour or so. Glad I'll never need to wax this huge car.

I have used the local 'super car wash' once or twice. They have microfilament brushes and originally had a convey belt system which was touchless but that system was replaced with the old type of rail and cog and I have not gone back since. You are pretty dependent on the attendant guiding you into the rail system otherwise you'll rub your rims against the rail.

I'd rather leave the car dirty until I have time to wash it than risk the car wash. The non-touchless systems with the microfilament brushes do a great job but it's only as safe as the maintenance record for their setup.
