I hate all car wash establishments - brushless, touchless etc., especially on black cars/trucks.
Brushless - I've washed the gentleman take the sheepskin mitt and go all the way down to the sidesteps and all the way back-up - repeat without rinsing the mitt. Hence, all that dirt from the lower part of the truck is now in the mitt and putting swirl marks in the paint. Meaning, I now have to spend 2-3 hours with an ROP correcting their mistake, because I wanted to save 15 minutes washing the truck (with 30 minutes drive time).
I also had all the back paints bleached-off of a brand new set of StopTech brake calipers from the insanely strong wheel cleaner they use. Granted it was a cheap paint job on the calipers, and StopTech has since upgraded, but I'm sure this is why my current RRS's calipers are bleached white from the prior owners neglect/indifference.
Touchless - say good bye to that layer of Carnuba.
