Roadster guys/gals: Is it ok to bring the car to a regular carwash?

My car is filthy and I usually hand wash it, I was just wondering if this is even an option.

Thanks!

Don't do it. I'm sure thay you'd end up with water coming in around the window seals.

Plus, I don't like the idea of the brushes/rags on the top fabric - too much friction.

Expect to get very wet

I only took mine through once on a trip, Recommendation, Either don't do it or have a couple towels with you inside the cabin

NO... not only is "sideways" high pressure water an issue, the wheel rails will damage your rims

I know form first hand (and very sad) experience
