I noticed that a thread talking about a touchless car wash didn't mention the company so I'll do the same here.

I took my Mini Cooper to the "one with the yellow and blue logo". They have a touchless car wash. Went through....came out...checked...all looked clean...drove home (it's across the street from my house). The next day I realize that my car wasn't washed at all!

Just wondering, is the Mini too narrow for touchless car washes?

I know I can do it by hand but...in the upcoming winter?? Ya gotta be kidding!

In winter I usually use the hand power sprayers found at select car washes. I've never used an automated car wash on my MINI so I can't comment on that part sorry.

It's not that much narrower than a normal car, just shorter...
I guess I could see the machine not cleaning the rear as well due to the shortness, but I can't imagine it missing the car entirely.
No direct experience though. I use the hand sprayer washes.
