    Believe it or not...that's not far from the truth. A friend almost had them coat his Corvette because they told him it would prevent rock chips

    Re: 1st decon wash in almost a year!

    Did your friend say how often he would run it through the touchless wash? Like once a week, twice a month, once a month?

    If he ran it through the touchless on a frequent basis, at least he is keeping the paint free from surface contaminants which would otherwise slowly eat away at the coating. If that's the case then I wonder if the constant exposure to high pH soaps at these auto car washes is what really killed the coating?
