I don't want to go and fail... so wanted to ask the question first.

You can go through touchless carwashes that don't have any rails...

I only take mine through once a year, in the winter...when i have my steelies on. I don't like carwashes and won't trust them with my rims on.

Rails will scratch up lips on aftermarket wheels.

Just wash by hand.

idk but the wash over here has rails and they do a good job. it's all done by hand using the same glove and micro fiber towels i use when doing by hand. the rail never has messed up my wheels. though not everyone can get on the rail.

I have not found a carwash wiithout rails yet so... I guess if any MA people want to chime in.

My car looks like new because I wash it all the time via Car washes (both regular and touchless).
