As for comments on hand wash, the problem is if someone else is doing it for you you are trusting their wash media is completely clean, which it often is not, so that's why a handwash can cause damage.
These carwashes would go out of business immediately if they were disolving peoples paint. Come on now.
Long ago touchless washes did use some harsher acids but at worst they would remove your wax over time. Modern washes are much more mild. I run my car through a local one and after 8 washes my wax is still holding up.

EXACTLY!! This thread is a JOKE. Dealers use the touchless. I have used it for years. Any drive through that touches your car WILL scratch your paint to some degree. If your car is light colored then you probably won't notice it but if its black anybody can see the damage. Unfortunately nothing can clean your car without contact. Salt can be washed away.A good hand wash is the only way.
