That said, I’m still too nervous to bring mine through the automatic spinning brush wash. The rails vs rims scares me.

This! My biggest fear! Had my rims damaged by the rails once since the rims were wide just enough to get scratched..

Used to do my own wash with two bucket system and kept my E92 paint like new and minimum scratches for five years… yes, the way most people wash their cars is crazy… not to mention the ones that go to a self-wash bay and use that foaming broom lol

....and responses like this make me realize that some people just don't give a shit or are offended by my enthusiasm.

Ive seen wheels lips get completely destroyed right in front of me at my local car wash that has those steel bars for wheel guiding. Off track, hand washes for me ONLY.
