Default Convertibles and car washes

I now own a convertible for the first time in my life, a new 2021 Mini. It occurred to me that I have no idea if it is safe to take this car to a regular car wash business, thinking that the brushes and pressurized water used to wash the car might be too much for the rag top, and the same for those drive through places attached to many gas stations. Hoping any members here that own or have owned convertibles can comment and help me out.

Default Car wash

Never never never take a convertible car through a car was,the pressure from the roller brushes will trash your roof.no responsible owner of a car wash will allow a convertible to use the facility.
