Hand Wash only?
  What do you guys use on your SAV? I try to claybar it once a year. Do a good wax before winter and after.

I use a touchless car wash in winter, and by hand the rest of the time. Never had an issue with it except that it really doesn't clean very well - just gets the major stuff off. But here in the N. east, I don't see much choice...

I use a carwash and a touchless carwash. What is the problem with regular car washes?

I've always washed all my rides by hand. That way I can guarantee it doesn't get messed up in the process.

Washed it for the first time through a touchless car wash the other day. It got most of the stuff off, but there's still a film of dirt around the car. Next time I'll definitely wash by hand.

Oh, and with all the salt they put on the roads here I have no choice but to run through the car wash in the winter. I do not use the gas station car wash, but a higher end car wash should be fine.

I hand wash in the warmer months. During winter I will go to a carwash with a heated stall and use the sprayer to blast off the major stuff, handwash with my own soap and bucket, then rinse with the wand again. Then dry it while I am still there before heading out into the cold.
