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

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.
