carwashes in general use pretty harsh detergents to clean the car, especially touchless ones because they don't actually scrub the car. Say goodbye to any wax/sealant on your paint

Wow, have fun with your 07 coupe, the paint will be destroyed by next month if you keep on that pace.

Just use meguiars and SEARCH in the detailing forum.
O yea, drift the **** out of the car, it's great fun.

Yea washing your car 3-4 times a wk is a guaranteed way to wear down the sealant. If you continue to wash it this many times, I suggest waxing it every month. After a couple of months you won't want to wash it 3-4 times a wk, let alone once a month.
