simple ?

Ok I have been hand washing my 7 for a while, and I was thinking about taking it threw a carwash to get a bottom blast and a rust inhibitor. My question is has any one took there 7 threw a carwash and will it be safe.

New paint? If I just had a new paint job I probably wouldn't, but I'm pretty **** about cleaning my own car. I'm sure it would be fine..

If you use all the special options they have, like wax and spotless rinse, it usually comes out pretty nice for me.....costs like 4 bucks though....up to you

Bottom wash is good preventative maintinance. Make sure your exhaust is not hanging down.

Ok thanks, I was just worried about the ground clearance it has not been lowered so it should be fine since you guys did it.
