just my 2 cents
its just like washing your car at an automatic car wash, same concept uses a lot a pressure and i never had an issue over the period of times i had my other cars

Calcium, iron, vitamin C, etc.... Duh... Personally, I crush up a couple multi-vitamins into the wash water whenever I do my car and then for a final rinse, I use milk. You gotta make sure your paint gets its essential nutrients.
