Is it ok to take a car that has been wrapped to an automatic car wash?

Getting just my windows wrapped on my coupe today. I am wondering should I just always hand wash it, or can it go to the auto wash sometimes?

Hand washing is always recommended for longevity per the manufacturer of the materials. But i have always taken my wraps cars to the drive through car washes. I try to stay clear of the "Brushless" car washes though. They are better for paint, but worse for wraps as they use higher pressure water jets and that is the main thing you have to watch out for when washing a car that has a wrap on it.

Personally I would hand wash mine due to not wanting anything ripping the wrap. I have a wrap job that I'm doing soon haven't seen any like it yet.

You had your windows wrapped? Like blacked out? Or did you have your windows tinted? Pics please to clear up my confusion.

I was going to ask that too. Wasn't sure what "wrapped" meant. I would assume its having the windows tinted but then again, it's never safe to assume.

But wouldn't black out...tinted be the same? Just that black out is the blackest tint? I'm really confused.

When you say your windows were wrapped, what do you mean? Is it like a see through design?

Nevermind....just saw the answer.

Hand wash only!!!
You want to go through a car wash that has degreaser and all kinds of dirt on the brushes! Not me!
The degreaser removes all of your wax and makes your headlights yellow after a few years.
Hand wash this beautiful car!

Always hand wash your car
Car washes always say their not responsible for any damage.
I went to one because I was in a different city and my truck needed a wash bad. They broke my antenna. But besides that it's better.
