When I asked, he said he put it through an automatic car wash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>Wait, you can put it in an automatic car wash? Doesn\u2019t it get scratched or anything?<\/strong>\u201d I was surprised, and he said,  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">I checked the width and height limits for cars allowed in automatic car washes beforehand, and apparently, <strong>many car washes have a width limit of 2.3 meters.<\/strong> I wasn\u2019t sure if that was the width including mirrors or just the body width, but since the Cayenne\u2019s width is 1985mm, I thought it might just work, so I gave it a try.<br \/>\nThat said, <strong>although there was about 30cm of width to spare, the tires didn\u2019t fit inside the yellow guide lines painted on the ground at all.<\/strong> I don\u2019t think those lines are actually 2.3 meters wide?<br \/>\nAnyway, I aligned the driver\u2019s side tire with the yellow line and the passenger side tire stuck out quite a bit, but I stopped there. Watching the car wash gate get closer was really nerve-wracking. The gate felt way too small, and it seemed like the Cayenne was squeezing in tight.<br \/>\nI was praying, <strong>\u201cIf it\u2019s really going to hit something, the safety sensors will stop it,\u201d<\/strong> while waiting (lol).<br \/>\nFrom the driver\u2019s seat, even with the mirrors folded in, the gate was so close on the passenger side that I was worried it might scrape the mirror. It was scary to watch.<\/p>\n<p>he said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21233\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0254.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21235\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0261.jpg\" alt=\"Washing the Porsche Cayenne\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My husband took several photos, and looking at them, it really looks intense and a bit scary\u2026!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_0253.jpg\" alt=\"Washing the Porsche Cayenne\" width=\"1200\" height=\"674\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, regarding the wheels, it seems the automatic wash didn\u2019t get them clean at all,  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\"><strong>I definitely have to wash the wheels myself.<\/strong> I chose a course that focuses on washing the wheels, but they didn\u2019t get clean at all.
