Coin-ops FTW.

Truthfully, most drive through-touchless’ use very harsh soaps in order to facilitate a touchless operation. This in turn will strip cheap waxes and sealants, and shorten the longevity of more durable sealants.

I personally, would only use them once the temperature hits above 0\*C on a consistent basis.

Good luck, and happy holidays!
