I took my X trough the car wash once and I will never do it again. The car wash missed a lot of spots on my X and I ended up washing it myself over again anyway. Before i went through the wash I took off the antenna and i also took off the basket and folded the mirrors in. This was a one time deal and never again will i subject my X to the horrors of the automatic car wash. Touchless car washes are the worst. When you take you x through the touchles type it uses high pressure sprayers. If you have a chip in the paint the constant high pressure of the sprayers in the touchless type will cause that chip to start getting water under it and it will get worse and worse with every wash with high pressure sprayers, also it is not good to use high pressure sprayers on bearing seals or any seals that have grease in them unless you plan to re-grease them. Take good care of your X and it will last you forever.
