I hand wash it myself and enjoy washing it - It's my soap and I'll wash it as fast as I want to!

Thanks,Matt

If my car wasn't black, and in a pinch, might think of it - but no way in a black 'vette. Was getting my TrailBlazer washed at the local car wash a while ago. Was surprised to see a black C6 roadster waiting in line. Would have loved to have seen how it turned out but had to leave.

Many, many times. Never had a problem. I doubt I'll do it now with headers and since I'm going to lower it soon.

I do quite a bit. Most damage to a convertible top is from dust and road grim rubbing against the fabric. So I stop in the touchless carwash to wash the dust off. I give it a hand wash about once month.

I'll go through a coin and spray, where you clean you yourself, when on a trip.. otherwise, I just wash it every Saturday Morning (if it's not raining) in the driveway.
