I've never had any problems with a touchless car wash while having the antennae on. Most places that use the brush/mop type car wash will remind you to remove your antennae. The hole doesn't need to be covered. You don't even need a tool to unscrew it.

Sleepered, are you sure that the car wash was what caused the dent? From my experience at all the car washes I've been to, those fans aren't strong enough to put a dent. In most cases, the jet of water is stronger than the air. If somehow the fans did do the damage, I would imagine that it could be popped back out.

I'm with you on that one Yamaha, but one thing I've noticed about the difference in car washes in California vs car washes in the north east is that we have Mexicans that actually vacuums our car, pre-washes it before it's sent through the touchless car wash, and then they also dry your car and do your window. So, the end result would be as good as you washing it yourself. Of course your wheels won't be as clean as if you detailed it yourself but you can only ask for so much at this price. All this for as little as $6 if you do the early bird special.

My time would actually cost more if I were to wash it myself, and that's not even counting the cost of water and supplies.
