LOL…. I'd say most wash them by hand… I haven't got one but if I did I'd hand wash it… a convertible that age… I wouldn't trust it and besides I'd be scared it'd scratch it

My hubby has often said " Go on you will be fine ". But to be honest i would never chance it ! People with tin tops are so lucky that way . But I guess I only have to wash half my car being a soft top !!!!

Never been through in mind, and never will. Thats not to say the lazy-careless guy in me is tempted.
Makes me laugh/shake my head when i see people with their new expensive cars going in a car wash. Just cant believe people want to wreck their pride and joy.

I like cleaning mine too so I'd hand clean it… if not then ^^ what he said ^^
I wouldn't even take my tin-tops in there…. I wash them all by hand… love the way it looks at the end knowing I done it :mrgreen:
