I take mine to a new carwash close to my house.

I hate washing cars. The main thing that I love about this carwash is that is uses a conveyor belt system and not a rail system.

No chance of damaging a lower car and I have no issues with scratches or anything like that.

I can have it detailed once a year if I see any fine scratches on it. It's done well so far in the year I have been using this carwash.

My C4 was fine. It didn't melt. My MB vehicles over the years and different models have been fine. They too didn't melt. I suspect that my 21 A8 will be fine too. My Ford and GM vehicles have been fine too.

​​​​​​No prayers needed, not that I have any interest or inclinations to waste my time with that superstitious behavior either. Actually, hand washing my car would be infinitely more productive than praying for anything.
