I work at a a petrol station and it pisses me off to see people in well nice cars takin em thru the carwash! Beemers, Mercs, all that sort of thing. Personally I would never go through one cos I know what they do to your paintwork. Does anyone here use them at all?

Last time I used proper car wash was when I was being stupidly lazy...

They do a crap job and it broke my wing mirror grrrrr....

Jet wash if I'm in a hurry, but nothing beats spending saturday afternoon polished finish...

Nah got a steam washer and a jet washer at home so do my cars every sunday morning for a around 3 hours, full wax and polish job. In the summer I tend to do it every night.
