Ouch! Tough lesson on automatic car washes. If I take mine through one, I only use the touchless. Did it dent your hood when it was pulled off?

Jeez don't ever take your car through one of those automatic car washes. It will ruin your paint!

Same here hand wash only! Winter daily drivers get the touch free with the undercarriage wash, where I drive in really slow to take full advantage of the underside spray.
