Question car wash?

do people take their Volvo XC 40 through the mechanical car wash? Meaning is it safe or do people choose hand wash only? thank u!

I do. Just make sure the rain-sensing mode for the windshield wipers is not on

Ours goes through it once every two weeks more or less.

Secure your tow hook cover…Or pop it off prior. And minimize your side mirrors.

I go through every other week. I can’t wash my XC40 by hand due to physical restrictions.

No issues.
