Car Wash
Hello!
Does putting your Q5 through a car wash machine damage the car or the paint at all? I kmow hand wash is probably the best but just seeing all options.
Also, how often do ylu wash your Q5?
Thanks!

If you are referring to the conveyor belt car washes with soft cloths... they certainly aren't GOOD for the car's finish. But I lease and am not going to hand wash, particularly during a midwest winter. I garage my vehicles and the paint always seems great shape at lease turn in (3 years).
Touchless washes are likely "better" for the finish but don't do as good a job cleaning the vehicle.
If you plan on owning and are OCD, then definitely hand wash. I own a 2011 BMW M3 that's stored in the winter and doesn't see the inside of an automated car wash during the good weather months.

I have an "all you can eat" membership at a hand car wash. Pay once a year, get to go as much as I want. They do it all, in and out. I go every 5 days.
