Many years ago and owner did go through the car wash. One of the funniest stories ever. He had the top and side curtains installed and a bunch of towels. Had water coming in through every joint, seam and gap. Great story.

I don't understand the issue with water. I certainly wouldn't want to wipe the dirt and grunge off with a rag and grind the dirt into the paint. Years ago at London an owner of an aluminum car borrowed my dirty wash water and proceed to clean his car with scotchbrite. Takes all kinds.

On carpet, as departed brother Bill Wells said years ago, "you just don't know that you're having fun until there's whitecaps over the nap of the carpet". I bailed out SPF 1855 many times. It all dries.
