Its just a car. Plenty out there that are nicer and more expensive.
The guy who "doesn't drive his much because he has to hand wash it" is an idiot, pure and simple. Its just a machine, when it gets dirty, you wash it. Then you use it again, until its dirty. Repeat.
I both hand wash and use touchless car washes, depending on the weather/time of year/how much time I have available.
I'm certainly not going to not drive a car because "it will get dirty", and I'm certainly not going to leave a car filthy for an extended period of time until I have time to spend an entire afternoon cleaning it.
Its funny that some CFOT posters think nothing of taking their $100K SUV/pickup through a car wash, but would never dream of taking their precious $45K base Corvette through it.

I would never take my Corvette to a drag-through car wash. I'm not overly paranoid about swirl marks or scratches it's just not my style. I live on a dusty, dirt road so I used to occasionally take the Vette to a self-spray car wash to rinse off the dust but that's like hand washing.
Intense and prolonged psychotherapy might help.

Bottom line....
OP is promoting his business...nothing wrong with that. But it's something that I'd never do because of not knowing what just went through the wash ahead of me and not knowing the state of cleanliness of the brushes and whatnot that are about to be rubbed all over my car.
No thanks.

Mail order products like Zaino are definitely pitched on this forum, though, ostensibly by "users" . . .
