Hi...can the TTS with the fixed spoiler go through a car wash with no issues...worried about the wing being torn off...thanks

Are you unable to hand-wash the car? I don't think you'll find forum members recommending car washes--period--quite apart from any potential damage to the spoiler. If you can't hand wash, do you have access to a touchless car wash, or a do-it-yourself car wash with the spray wand? Either of those would be preferable to a conventional car wash. Very little good can come of taking your Audi to a typical car wash. And are you referring to the 2015 TTS with the Competition package? That car deserves very special treatment.

I used to take my 08 S6 to touchless wash and, last year had problem with electrical harness corrosion on the driverside cooling fan. Then the passenger side cooling fan with control unit had to be replace due to water corrosion. Expensive process. I firmly believed that Audi has inadequate design to water proof the engineering compartments.
Suggest two buckets hand wash and no power wash engine compartment to avoid unnecessary electrical repairs!

I don't trust any automatic car washes. The ones with brushes or those seaweed thingys just seem to rough to me and the touchless water jets are a bit rough as well. And I dinged a wheel, luckily a winter wheel, on one of them. I would use the drive in kind with the wands or handwash if your town allows (we have outdoor water restrictions all summer). That way you can control what touches the car and can look for any small dings from rocks or such before they get too bad.
