The brushes can wrap around things and yoink them off like Indiana Jones' whip.
“yoink” is a word I am going to start incorporating in my vocabulary

Yes, touch-free is an option. Just keep in mind if you get a real clean car after a touch-free wash, it is 100% guaranteed you just drenched your prized possession in very strong acid chemicals. Imagine that acid sipping through down onto the suspension parts touching everything that can rust. I'd prefer self-service facilities over touch free automated ones if you can't go through tunnels. At least the self-services don't use strong acid stuff and you have more control on where you spray the soaps / use the manual brushes.
