Never. The car does not go near one either.
What Mr Motters says. My sister in law never hand washed any of her cars, and they all ended up with the kind of paint job you'd find on a Sherman tank after The Battle of the Bulge.
Automatic car washes are horrid things. Those pop-up hand-washing jobs round the back of industrial estates and on old station car parks are no better - the gorillas who work there loosen your paint with the kind of water jet that's used for post-nuclear accident decontamination and then remove what's left with a Brillo Pad dipped in grit.
