Don't take it through the auto wash! the swirls it will have after it comes out of there But I'm a detailer, so I have an eye for that, maybe you don't...but as for the water part, you do have a point. I would think you would be ok, they had to have thought of that when they designed the car.
agreed i am one too automatic car washes are hell on paint.
ya anything factory should be god. if not thats kinda sad on the manufactures part.
like 01gtp said, just wash it your self and then theres not much to worry about
