Make sure you turn off "Autohold" before going into the car wash. I know, not by choice but thru not turning off. lol

Is "AutoHold" still engaged when you shift to neutral?? I don't know, I never use it.

Yes. If still engaged even if in neutral if you hit the brake. Found out the hard way in a car wash. Roller came up to rear tire and since the brake was on (from stopping where the guy told me to stop) it rolled under the tire before I realized it was on.

The place I go doesn't have a track and I always use touchless.

I'd rather be washing my car at my driveway instead of going to any auto carwash machine

I get most of my washing while filling the tank.

I keep a couple of microfiber cloths and a spray bottle of rinseless wash in it, and get a couple of panels or more while I fill.

On my Eldorado, while still working, I followed washing a panel with a layer of sprayed wax!
