I'll bring my car through these in the winter. Nothing ever touches the car except water, so I have no qualms about doing so. Plenty of waxing during the summer months and I'm content.

Again, bad for the seals. The top was designed to handle rain coming from above, not high pressure spray from the side. Go to one of the $.25 do it yourself wash places, and avoid the top with the high pressure wand.

Low pressure only, thank you very much.

you have the right answers above...
(no pressure washes on a convertible- or imo no public car washes on any car that you care about!!)
for any more detail info, post in the wash and wax forum on this board!

The manual also states that your shift points from 1st to 6th are all accomplished by the time you reach 52mph.
Have fun following the manual.

I DO ALL THE TIME....with my peice of crap Winter-car
THERES NO WAY ID TAKE MY S TO ONE OF THOSE! i cannot belive someone would ask this
HAND WASH ONLY ! If you have any Love for your S like i do, i would never subject her to those washes. Remember...There are probably hundreds of dirty cars with salt,dirt etc that go through there on a daily basis. Do you want someones dirt/salt etc on your car swirling and marking your paint
