Car Wash ok for spoiler?

[ktmwakeboarder]

So this is my first car with a spoiler, and I have always hand washed in the past since I had easy access to a hose. I just moved into a building that has no hose, and am wondering: Is it safe to go through one of those car washes, often at gas stations, that move you along through the big brushes? Maybe I'm being too paraniod, but I don't want anything ripped off or damaged. Thanks,

Kevin

I take mine through the brushless car wash when I don't have the time to hand wash it.

Yeah, I don't think I would go through the car washes with the brushes because I have seen how easily this paint get scratched. And I forgot to mention that in the end when the big blower thingys are drying the car off the spoiler vibrates a little. Kinda worried me at first but it is still on there as secure as the day I bought it.
