The use a brush & sponge. I've been getting my car washed there for 3 years & have never had any issues.
They scratched my Range Rover all over the entire vehicle from their hand wash. I assume either the sponge or drying towel had dirt in it. I had a flawless finish that had just gone through paint correction and ceramic coating 2 weeks prior to this horrible experience.
