After many articles still not clear what kind of Automatic car wash can take a SAS hardtop WT through in winter months.Can hand wash in summer but want underside cleaned of road [snow removal chemicals] after snows.You call a car wash + they all say theirs is fine but that is the product they are selling so would assume if there is damage you are screwed!!! + reading more about problems with hard tops.

I run mine through touchless high-pressure wash every week or two. Picked it up in Wisconsin last August. Drove it home, washed it, Graphene coated it (twice) and now all it needs is a good high-pressure wash.

I only had water intrusion once when I had pulled the front panels off and didn't seat them back correctly. Haven't had an issue since. No issue with product used in the washes that I've seen in 6000 miles.

I go through a regular car wash weekly and have never had any issue at all. There may be plenty of ‘good’ hand washing and baby-ing it, but if you can find a good car wash, it’s safe to take it through as often as you like. Better to get the crud rinsed off any way you can.

If you are concerned..maybe a touchless wash.

Personally it hasn't stopped raining since I got it, but the one time I did want it I just power washed it off in my driveway like I do all my vehicles.

I take mine to the Autowash Touchless car washes in the Denver area. Just make sure you only do the “Essential wash” and you’ll be okay. Anything else has the dryer which can cause issues.

I need to drink more to understand if and where the question is in here, or maybe its a statement?

Serious question: can you please re-state this to make any sense?
