I have been taking mine thru one for the last year and the car still looks, runs and drives like a brand new car.....not scratches on the wheels, either, from the guide rails in some carwashes whose wear bars have been worn off. It is not a brushless one either but rather a combination brush/high pressure spray/high velocity drying cycle.
The only thing that it doesn't do well is clean the passenger side wheels and tires because the wheel cleaner will not reach across far enough to hit the wheels so the guys in the drying bay at the outlet end clean that side by hand for me.....
This local car wash is one of a many in the Albany area and they run a tight ship. Very clean and well maintained.....Hoffman's Car Wash.....top shelf.
