I go to Petro Canada on Martin Grove & Dixon for the drive through car wash.. my car comes out crystal clean.
If you wax your car properly.. it shouldn't scratch.
That's cuz wax acts as a protectant for the paint from being scratched.

I hand wash all the time.. but sometimes when you wanna just get it done and over with fast.. I send it through the machine.
In the winter.. I'm a HUGE fan of the automated car washes.
Othertimes.. I take a bucket of hot water and wash my car down with that...
But then my driveway becomes a skating rink.

Yep! 
The works sprays the underbody of your car.
Touchless or Touch car washes... it sprays it.
And... a lot of PETRO CANADA gas stations GUARANTEE their car washes.. if it's not clean the first time.. they'll re-wash it!
"my underbody is dirty.. I want it rewashed."
they'll rewash it.

The only touchless car wash around me is located in an Esso station and if you don't buy gas then it's like $2 or $3 more so I just stay home and wash it myself... don't like the Esso gas. 
Try going to one of those coin op ones, if it isn't too dirty just use the high pressure spray and get the junk off.

Guy I work with used to work at a gas station and he told me that the auto washes hardly do anything and that the "touchless" ones are a waste of money (he used to work at a local Petro)
He also said that they hardly the brushes/flap things are hardly washed (yuck) Not to mention how it scratches your paint...
From what he told me don't ya think its better to do it yourself and have it done the right way?
But to each their own...
