Default car washes

when i got my 1995 camaro i was told not to take it to any drive in car washes because it sits too low so i've been hand washing it. is this true or are the certain washes i can take it through or what?

Mine is an RS with the ground effects, and I can say that I haven't had any problems.

There is an automatic touchless car wash that I love in my area called the TYPHOON.

Great job on undercarriage wash.

The only problem is if you have nice rims the little tracks will rub against them and if you do it too much im sure it will cause serious scuffage. I work at a dealership detailing cars and we use industrial products from a company called Dur-x that will clean and shine just about anything 10xs better than an average auto or hand wash.

I try to avoid any type on automatic car wash. Most use recycled water and the brushes or sponges are hard on your body and paint. For my truck i do use the touch less versions but i would still expect a normal hand wash would still be the best way to go.

i worked at a car wash for WAY TO LONG... anyway, the owner would bring his ferrari in all the time to wash and it wouldnt rub. a few SS's would roll through from time to time and they were fine.
