Now it's dirty is it a bad idea to run a DeLorean through an automatic, drive-in car wash such as the types commonly found at gas stations? Opinions are welcome. Rich A. #5335 I have taken mine through touch-free washes w/o a problem, but i hate it. the soap removes the tire dressing and other shine enhancing products you probably have all over your louvers and lights and rub strips and such. you might find some water leaks too under the pressure. won't hurt anything though unless your louvers and engine covers are already broken.
