I have to park outside and my car seems to be a magnet for bird shit and other tree filth.
All I've ever read is that machine washes are terrible for the paint so I've avoided them, but wondering why?
If I move to the machine wash and go weekly, what is the downside long term?

You will get spider web scratches all over the place
Do touchless instead |
Even touchless washes use the same water and "recycle" it to save money. They filter is most of the time but ask yourself what it takes to filter out 4 or 5 different chemicals from a water source at once.
The thing to remember is you don't know, what you don't know. If you take it anywhere outside of a professional detailer or your personal environment then there's no telling what's going to come into contact with your car.
