Was this some sort of "automatic" wash? If so, I think the manual discourages auto washes due to the rag top. If this was a "detailing" shop that is more than your standard, drive-through car wash... that is very odd. Personally, I wash my own car. Since it is "so small" it doesn't take too much time unless you really want to do all sorts of detailing. Not sure if it is just me, but there are few odd enjoyments with home ownership that I never expected -- BBQing and washing the car in the driveway.
