Huh? I’m in my mid-40s, have been washing cars since I was 10. Other than closing the windows, there is no prep procedure. I’ve never experienced a car that opens and closes its doors when exposed to water, and I never will. My buddy and I had an idea to buy up low mileage 2002-2005 Hondas and Toyotas to “mothball” and resell at a premium later as a business years ago. We laughed it off, but now I regret not doing it.

If your car doesn't have rain sensors, a powered charge port, automatic door handles, collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, auto parking brake, etc, then yes, nothing to worry about. ICE higher-end models can also have a lot of assist features that need to be disabled in a car wash.

The industry has finally figured this out, too; it looks like we have reached Peak Touch Interface, and a number of manufacturers are either already rolling some of it back or will start in the next model year.
