I agree with others, regarding taking the XFire (Coupe or Roadster) to a car wash that uses brushes or strips during the washing. I do take my F150 to a car wash nearby but I'm not as concerned as I would be on the Crossfire.

I did take my Crossfire to an automatic car wash in Hagerstown, MD when I went to Carlisle one year. But this car wash never actually touched the car (I knew it was there from working an assignment in the city a few months before). All the soaping cycles only sprayed my car and the rinsing was the same. Did the car really get "clean". Probably not like it would if I washed it in my driveway. But considering being on the road to Carlisle, it was more than good enough and I finished up detailing it when I got to the showfield.
