It’s a touchless car wash lol, I think it’ll be ok
You still have to be careful with touchless, the chemicals cause staining on all surfaces. The pre wash usually is a high pH which can cause staining. It's great for pre wash as it removes a lot of dirt and grime, but it's not 100% safe on all cars.

How do I know this? I used to be a district manager for a oil investment company (gas stations) and had 7 automated car washes, 4 of them being touchless.

Not a Corvette.
Side note: If I owned a car wash, I'd have a sign made that depicts the front side view of a vehicle with a minimum height warning. It would be prominently posted at the front of the wash and where payment is accepted. This would help prevent liability issues.
Would you do oil changes too?

I wouldn't put mine through a wash on a bet. Easy to wash and I don't need it getting messed up by someone else. I can do that myself.
