I take mine to a regular automated car wash even though it’s heresy on this board. I’ve done that with all my cars and any swirl marks have not been a problem for me.
But it is :p

Over the past 4yrs or so I've become quite the fanatic as far as trying to keep my cars' paint nice, and I have not once gone to an auto car wash since. I bought one of those Worx battery operated "pressure washer" to rinse the car in the winter, and then wipe down with Chemical Guy's waterless wash. No swirls on the cars. Plus the MME's paint *seems* to be pretty tough as far as resisting fine scratches from drying. I was even crazy enough to run my electric pressure washer in the middle of winter, when my outside hose bib is not completely frozen. Couple of times the foam from my foam cannon froze instantly on the car ?

I had done that with all my previous cars. I’m trying to be better with this one and only do touch-less washes.

I started out with good intentions and hand washed and applied Turtle Wax Ceramic Hybrid Solutions. Kept hand washing for the next several months. I took it to a few car shows then too. It started to get colder so I started taking it to the car wash as I will have to do this winter when the roads are salted and it's too cold to be outside. The only car I never took to the automated car wash was my garage queen, the 2002 Thunderbird. Since it was stored in the winter I could hand wash it the rest of the year. The Mach E is a daily driver "workhorse" and I don't mind treating it like all my other cars.

This was taken two months ago after a No Touch wash to get the grim off.

Still loving the IB color and will be adding something next month to give it a kick!

Perhaps allowing room for the horse shit out the back?

Stopped and took a photo of my winter tires before changing them over. Glad I had them on today for the unexpected April snowstorm. They really were awesome in the snow. I was so pleased with how this vehicle performed this winter. It’s rugged as well as beautiful. Gotta love that combo!

Got this slick photo of my Mach E from my buddy at work when they were doing some maintenance.
