Mine goes to the touchless carwash tomorrow too. It's covered in rock- salt.

I think my neighbors think I am crazy because I wash mine 2-3 per week. Even if it will rain the next day. I have got it down to where I can do a good wash in 15 minutes. Now my wife, she knows I am crazy.

Woh, 15 minutes.
It usually takes me close to an hour to give my X a good cleaning, including inside wheel arches, inside of rims, all glass inside n out etc.

I'm currently experiencing an opposite type of problem re the weather. I can't wash early morning or in the middle of the day with little to no shade in my driveway and therefore wait till late afternoon when temp drops down to around 22deg cel. (74f).
Ah, you gotta love summer.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one that washes their car 2-3 times a week.
42C predicted for the next couple of days here, guess I might leave it till it cools down a bit.
