I found a decent carwash and have been through twice. I haven't noticed any damage to it. I will avoid it at all costs when the weather gets warmer, but I had to get that road salt off my X in the meantime! The only problem I had (scarey one too!) is that my brakes are aweful afterwards for about 1/2 hour. I'm assuming they get wet with detergent or something oily/soapy. It's kinda scarey, so I don't drive far after the car wash. I don't have that problem when I hand wash or even drive through big dirty puddles. Must be that particular car wash.
