Convertibles with aftermarket modifications: Aftermarket modifications, such as spoilers, can be damaged by the brushes in a car wash. If your convertible has aftermarket modifications, it's best to hand-wash it.
If you're not sure whether your convertible can go through a car wash, it's best to consult your owner's manual.
