Hello everyone, well this is my first brand new car and I really want to take good care of it. The dealer offered me unlimited free car wash but I'm a little skeptical about it, ive done it a few times but I just don't want for their machines or w.e. they do to ruin the paint job. I was wondering what do you guys think, any personal experience or opinion on this matter? Thanks.

Why not wash your car yourself? It's good for exercises, cheaper and fun when you can touch and look at your baby up close. If you dont have time and they hand wash your car and if the price is right then go for it, i don't trust machine.

Personally, I'd stay away. But I hand wash, all the time. Only me and my detailer can touch my paint. I would even state "Do not wash" on the job order.

I wouldn't either. The dealer I got mine had different packages for it and I opted not to do it. I decided for this vehicle to take care of it myself, and went a little overboard with products: wash, sealant, waxes, sprays, polishers, etc. Lol, but doing that would give me a piece of mind and hopefully do the same for you.

I would look into the mechanics of the wash. Is it touchless? Ask them how they filter/reuse their water? What chemicals are sprayed, and then make a decision. If you have a driveway and the physical ability and no laws due to water shortages (I just eliminated a good chunk of the car buying population right there), then I'd suggest washing your own. But let's be reasonable... not everyone can do that logistically.
