I agree, automatic car washes can cause swirl marks in the paint. If you have the time wash it yourself by hand. I recently started using a Mr. Clean Auto Dry car wash kit. The beauty of it is the final filtered rinse that eliminates the need to dry the car. It air dries without leaving any water spots, saves me a lot of labor.

I have a '07 ES350 and noticed that the left homelink button for one of my garage doors seems to vary with it's effectiveness. For example, sometimes it will open the door as I enter the driveway (about 55ft away) and other times I need to be right up on the door. I also noticed that it doesn't always work with the first press of the button. I found that if I wait 10 seconds between button presses it always works, usually on the second or third try. At least it's never stopped working.
