Actually, even the "brushless" ones (like Lozano's here in the bay area) are
bad
in that they cloth can beat on your car.  I go to a place that does a 100% hand
wash.  They roll through sprayers and then guys with sheepskin mitts rub the
car down.  Yeah, it costs a bit more, but I wanna try to keep it looking good.
 (Which is impossible with a black car in the winter. :-)
