Only hand washes for my Lex. The only time I take it through a car wash, is If I need to get the salt off immediately, and it'll be a touch-less wash, no brushes and what not to worry about.

All done by hand. But yea, they don't touch the body at all. Just windows and tires.
I need to open one of those places. Cha-ching!!!

I'll just hose off the accumulated dirt that's on my truck during the winter. Don't really have to worry about salt here too much where I live.
If I really want a clean vehicle, I know a couple guys that will handwash and detail it for what I would feel it's worth to do the whole truck myself.
I really don't get into the detailing like I used too. Old age is catching up to me....would rather pay to have it done!

I run mine through, Its just a car like any other. Plus it`s getting old now, so who cares.
Although, I asked them NOT to run it through the wash at Thompson. Their wash always starts to pull off my passenger side door molding for some reason. Was driving home from their one time, and I kept hearing this flapping sound. So I pulled over to find out what it was and saw the molding peeling back/coming loose.
