If you use an auto. car wash, use one that's touchless (no brushes or clothes).
You should be able to just screw your antenna off and put it back
after you're through. These types of washes have a hot air blow dryer
at the end but I stop and do a wipe with a chamois and put the antenna
back on after I've gone through. I use mainly these washers in the winter
when temps are just above freezing ... not cold enough to freeze the water
but too cold to do a hand wash.
