It is not advisable to take a soft-top car through a car-wash. The water pressure used to blast dirt from the car and the suction used to remove water from the body's surface are extreme and likely to damage the fabric, stitching or seal.

Can you wash a convertable in a car wash?

yes you can... but i don't recommend it. EDIT: You should NOT get your convertible in a car wash it will ruin it... you better try interior & exterior steam cleaning. I agree with the answer above, but it shouldn't actually be a problem to wash a convertible in a touch less car wash. Now, there are several cars with soft tops that may with age end up with holes, even if they are not big enough to leak when it rains. BUT, when you use a car wash like the ones with a wand, or even the drive through types which use pressurized water jets, that can reveal the weaknesses of age. the best way to wash a convertible is in the driveway and wash only the body panels. when it comes to the soft top, they actually have products that will clean and condition the material that most are made from. I wqould also like to tell you that there are quite a few factory or even aftermarket soft tops that will have seams that are not water tight. so again, pressurized water jets or wands can push water through those weaknesses and soak your interior. from my experience, once a convertible interior gets soaked, it can start to grow bacteria that will make the car smell sour and is very hard to fix. Wash a convertible without the proper products and procedures with caution.

How long does taking your Vehicle to a Car Wash usually take it to get it Clean?

In an automatic car wash, where you just drive through, it takes about 4 minutes. -I prefer the kind where you park and get out and wash it yourself. This can take 10-12 minutes but is a much better job.
