Default They are good for cleaning mud and debris off but suck at grime

After you are done and let it dry, your car will be covered in a dirt film. Plus you can get water past the seals and possibly get your interior wet.

Default Yes. The "no touch" doesn't necessarily apply to your wheels, which can get scraped by the track.

It happened to a friend of mine who owns a TT; both wheels on the driver's side were scraped up by the track at a "touchless" car wash.
