Adams car shampoo & a Chemical Guys Chenille wash mitt. Chemical Guys gerbil brush for the grille & wheels. Half-dozen low-pile cheapo microfibers for the parts of the spokes the gerbil brush can't get, as well as the exhaust, and undersides of the splitter/rockers. Wheel woolies for the wheel barrels.
For the top I use a sticky tear-off lint roller (which has 2 coats of 303 Fabric Guard installed at 2017 and still beads wter). I don't think I've wet washed the top in 2 years because it hasn't needed it. Lint roller gets 99% of what gets on the top. And the top is never up when the car is being driven. It's just a dust cover for the interior when she's parked in the garage.
I have a foam cannon and gas pressure washer. Haven't needed it for a couple years (car hasn't been that dusty/gritty/sandy to the point where wet-wiping would risk swirls).

So how would a convertible fair with going through an automated car wash but one that is touch less?

That's a
negative, ghost rider. I wouldn't want that high pressure washer blasting the fabric.
My preferences would be:
- Use a hose at your condo (most have them), or
- Go to a coin-op place with my two bucket wash kit and use the hose there.
- Relocate to a more car-guy friendly residence.
