Please don't ever take your G through one of those machine car washes. Take it to Beshoff for a good wash that will not ruin your ride.

Hand wash yourself or pay someone to hand wash it.

If you're in the area: Walnut Creek Car Wash right off the Treat Blvd exit on 680. There are no tracks that would damage your rims and they are very careful. I've taken my car there the 4+ years I've owned it when I'm feeling lazy.

One trick, don't go on a Saturday or Sunday. There's too many cars backed up and they have lot of "extra" workers. I like to go mid week when the regular guys are there. They make a point of going over all the details such as the inside of my rims, my exhaust, and removing any marks on my leather. On the weekend you'll just get the quickie "move em through" stuff like everywhere else. It's still a great wash, but not a 5 star one for your 22 bucks. If you're stuck on a Saturday, you can walk across the street to Starbucks, BevMo, or a restaurant and wait it out.

Edit: Do NOT take your car to Autopia on Main and California. (It's under the BART tracks) They have tracks and damaged a friends rims. It was HELL trying to get the owner to pay for the damage even though the guy had literally just taken beauty pictures, took cell phone pictures when it was damaged right there at the wash, and could prove they did it.

Their is a place in martenez that i forgot the name its something like auto hand detail or something like that they do great work and do 1 car at a time you must call and make an apptment they wash your car for about an hour its great, and most car wash places like autopia and wc car wash will wash your car off line for an extra few dollors and then your car doesnt go on the tracks at all :P
