Come on over to my place in northern VA. I have hot and cold water in the garage..... You can use my driveway and wash it by hand.

Definitely Mike you need to revoke this guy's W&W wacko page poste haste!!

I would also like to add that touchless washes use strong chemical cleaners to make up for their lack of brushes which will shorten the life of your wax/sealant.

The owner's manual says no automatic car washes, that means NO AUTOMATIC CAR WASHES. Period.

i took mine to the touchless car was in my area once and don't think i'll be doing it again. the strong blow dryer at the end was making the soft top vibrate and i was afraid it would tear at the ribs. i'll just use the quarter wash next time. it's only like 4 minutes outside in the cold

I would rather leave grime on my paint until the weather warmed up and hand wash vs. sanding the grim off of the car's finish with a brush. This is the absolute worst thing you can do to your paint, those brushes induce swirlage beyond anyone's wildest dreams. I feel sorry for your GPW.

It might not be apparent on your white car but if you had a black car you'd use that brush one time and look like this:

So, a word of warning to the OP. Don't, whatever you do, use that brush on your paint.
