How do you wash your Evo?
User manual says no car wash using brushes. I guess touchless car wash might be a problem too because spraying at door handles equipped with fast key is no good too. Also, what about wing when going through a car wash? Another thing, l what about letting the guys at car wash move the car which has a stick, most people don't know how to drive stick I guess... Share your experiences cuz I am a total noob in this.
this is how I wash my car

In the winter (i have a drive way, no garage), I just take it to those car washes with the foam fingers. The water spray has never set off the fast key system on either the door or the trunk.

I used a microfiber wash mit and one bucket with the soap wash mixture. I use each side of the mit for 1 body panel and then get my house and rinse the mitt out. Dunk it in the soap bucket again and proceed to wash. I then rinse with just the hose without any of the attachments since the water gets pulled off and there is less that you physically have to dry. After that I will just get a bunch of micro fibers and dry the car. Once every few months I will wax my car and then like twice a year I will wash, clay bar, and then wax it

You only say that because you have a silver car. haha... You would be near tears if you had a black car as you watch the paint swirls come to life.
