Nope - no brushes. I take my Pathfinder there all the time. Maybe you have been lucky - or maybe I was just unlucky. In any case - I now always wash by hand.

Default Re: WARNING-DO NOT PRESSURE WASH
I recalled this thread today when I took my beater through the soft brush wash. I watched the video camera showing the wash and had visions of the rocker panel brush spinning 2000 rpm eliminating every trace of my side stripes. My previous mental image was the interior kid dropping the clutch, spinning donuts in the cleaning bay simultaneously destroying my car, numerous others and a lot of expensive equipment. I'm steering clear of the place with the Shelby.
