He said no auto car washes at all but I can confirm that the non-touch ones will ruin all of the high gloss shadow line trim. Not one part of it was not affected. And when I rubbed it the next day it had a powdery residue on that part of the trim (but not on the rest of the car) which was quite strange.

So for safety I would avoid any auto car washes if you have the high gloss shadow line trim.
No good steve.

Will have to keep that in mind when the new M-Sport arrives...
