You may not have run it through a car wash of this type, however, most body shops and dealers have these. Mine does, and I know for a fact it scratches paint/windows and we run 90% of the VW/Audi's through our washer. My subaru has the same kind of window scratches and it was from our car wash.
I don't see the old style non-touchless washes around much anymore but they are definitely known for scratching windows and paint. Are they still prevalent in the US?
