Is that not bad for the color shine of the car?

I'm taking my chances with the automated fresh water car wash this winter. I'm not willing to suffer outside in sub-freezing temperatures to keep my paint "perfect". I can see no ill effects from the automated wash after about a dozen visits last winter and this winter. I don't think it's that big of a deal... but I know there are plenty on this forum who regard the condition of their paint as a "life-or-death" matter.

There's a citgo in Faifax, right at FFX circle, at the intersection of rx 29, and Blake Lane (take rt 66 to Nutley twds FFX, turn right on rt 29, and you'll see the citgo as you approach ffx circle. There's only two, and sometimes there's a line..but if you want one, they got it. Otherwise, just keep driving on 66 towards like gainesville on 29 and you'll see a few, but thats a long trek for a car wash.
