I had no clue that I had to be concerned about going to a car wash... I just got my E90 and have been going through my local car wash (unlimited subscription) regularly

Is it possible that typical car washes can be "acceptable" or are they, by nature, bad?

All of the 'unlimited subscription' ones I've seen have an automated car wash. They invariably leave pretty bad swirls (realistically, it's really difficult to wash a car without inducing any micromarring; it's mostly a matter of amount).

If its a hand wash and they use clean mitts and clean towels it's probably okay.

Definitely hand wash with 2 bucket method.

It is worth it that you wait until you wash your own car than having a quick fix.
