Yes. They hand wash it. They won't put it through the automatic washer.

I've ran mine through a quite of a bit of car washes with soft top and snorkel. No damage yet. But when the blower starts going it looks like its putting a decent amount of stress on the soft top as you can see it pushing it down quite a bit

No car wash no way I wash my own, that's part of the fun getting it dirty then making her shine again.
