OP, why would you even consider taking your Z through a machine wash?
What's wrong with the self serve brushes?
I use them, but I put first put it on full water rinse mode and blast the brush a few minutes to wash away whatever crap the person before may have left on there prior to scrubbing.

. I tried the rinse the brush out thing on a couple of my previous cars that weren't as nice. It didn't matter what car wash or how long I rinsed the brush, it looked like someone ran fine grit sandpaper down my clear coat. I had to buff and polish to remove them. I'll never use the brushes again.

Have you looked at your paint? I can almost guarantee your clear coat is scratched all to hell . I tried the rinse the brush out thing on a couple of my previous cars that weren't as nice.

i'll have to take a pic next time im at the carwash. the brushes they use isn't the scrubbing brushes. it's more along the lines of a bunch of soft long strips.
when i got my Si at the time, i did use the brush and yes there were a crapload of those scatches on the clear coat. after trading up to the Z, i've been picky on where to wash my car and the one i go to uses the brushes with the soft long strips.

The ends fray and hold sand, no matter how well they are rinsed.
