My 2015 vert has never leaked while driving. It does leak some at the top of the windows in the car wash. I atttibute this to the sideways water stream that you never encounter in everyday driving.
BTW I have stopped using the car wash, too much detergent is used to compensate for no brushes. I use Adams waterless wash, done in 10 minutes if car is not real dirty.
FWIW none of my Vettes every went though a car wash after it was my car. I do my own sort of good job and twice each season I have a very good detailer do it. I live rural and he comes with a trailer and can do a excellent job.

It is hit with fast moving water on its run off the assembly line. When my car was done I think it had to be in there fr a couple minuets and stay dry. Of course after the car is out in the real world it gets everything 'readjusted" by potholes, bumps and just everyday driving and things wear in. That can effect things after time!

FWIW, your interior does not require any dressing; just a damp wipe down. More of a dusting w/a damp cloth.
It comes from the factory with a protective coating (including UV), and, in fact may be counter-productive to add to it (like dissolves like).
You may be doing your car a disservice by allowing them to do so.

Burning Brakes
I go to a car wash every Saturday. I get a stationary hand wash and get my same guy to wash and dry my car every time. He cleans my brake calipers with a toothbrush. I give him a $5 tip, more if he applies cleaner and topping to my (LT3) seats, door panels, and dash or gives me a free spray wax. We shake hands and talk about recent experiences and/or family.
None of the cash wash people in SoCal speak English, so can't talk about experiences with them (or even have them understand basic cleaning requests)

Safety Car
My wife and I had our first date in July...29 years ago. Went swimming on the St. Croix river. To celebrate we headed to a nice park on the river just before you get to Prescott, WI. Cleaned up the Vette first of course, with a quick coat of Kenotek Showroom Shine to top it off . . .
By the way, anyone in the St. Paul MN area, the drive down 95 thru Afton and ending up in Prescott is really nice!
