In the winters, i hand wash my car with a rinseless car wash. Never do i take my cars through ANY type of automatic car washes. All it takes is ONE wash in an automatic wash to scratch the paint, swirl it, etc etc.
Anyway, I start the process by going to the coin operated wash, and using the high pressure water(not soap....) to blast away the major loose dirt, wheel wells, etc etc.
Drive the car directly home(no drying...) and pull it in the garage. Fill up my 5 gallon bucket with hot water, drop my grit guard insert in there, and add about 2 1/2 ounces of Optimum no Rinse.
From there, you wash one panel at a time. Dry one panel at a time(and always overlap panels). Doing it the right way will not harm the paint.
