If your car has decent paint I wouldn't advise it, if it's already poor then it's not going to make it any worse :oops:

Welcome :thumbsup:
Very nice, straight six for a first motor is better going than most!
Soft top should be fine in a car wash, but personally I wouldn't put a car through those scratch machines.

Zeds are allergic to automatic car washes. They love micro fibre mitts and towels.

OK message received and understood.
No auto car washes, no east european side-of-the-road type things, just myself.
