Anyone take their S5 to a car wash? Do the 19's even fit?

Just curious. The weather sucks in Chicago, and I wanted to ask how people who live in crap weather have been washing their cars when its so cold?

Default no audi driver should take their car to an automatic car wash.

spend the $10 and get a hand wash, seriously.

I used to live in Chicago. They have some really nice hand car washes in the downtown area.

Do whatever you can to avoid car washes.

Default That's just silly...

Depending on the type of automatic wash, they're prone to do a lot less damage than the hand washes with the guys with the dirty rags may do.

Here in Colorado, almost all automatic washes are touchless, and they do a great job with Audis of all kinds without causing any damage whatsoever.
