    Does anyone know of a good touchless car wash preferably on the west side of Los Angeles? I've always used a 5 minute non-touchless in El Segundo but I'm not going to subject my new car to those brushes.

    are you sure a touchless is good for your paint. I went through one with the work truck and it had a disclammer on it saying there not responsable for the damage to the paint caused by the stuff they put in the soap, dulling the finish, scratching the clear coat. It made me not want to go through one with my personal car.

    Touchless is not that great or magical or everyone would use it and the other types of car washes would all go out of business or switch to touchless.
    There is very high pressure and strong chemicals that can strip the wax off at least or cause damage at worse and after all that, it often still doesn't always get all the dirt off. Some visible dirt film and grime may remain.
