Anybody know if there are any issues with taking a convertible through one of these car washes? Any possible damage to the soft-top or in general? I can't seem to find any hand car washes near me either. Thanks.
Stay away from any car wash machine even touch less ones.
Only hand wash your car. Even the service center advises me not to use the free car wash at bmw. This has all to do with the fabric roof long term abuse from the chemicals and high water pressure.
