If you’ve removed 95% of the snow and it’s just the ice left then yeah you’re pretty fine to drive.
The car wash should have heated water which should melt the ice/remaining snow pretty quickly as long as it’s indoors.
I can remove a lot of the snow before driving, but it is difficult to get it all off. The carwash is right down the street from me so the snow melting and falling off at low speed in transit is not likely.
Assuming it is safe and not rude to get to the carwash, is it ok to go through with snow snow still on the vehicle?

Yeah that’s what I experienced, and the people out front use the spray to dislodge any chunks holding on.

The people in this thread are either misunderstanding you (thinking you have a big 8" slab of snow on your roof) or are unfamiliar with regularly snowy places, or are completely unhinged. That, or I misunderstand and you are talking about driving with inches of snow on your roof, in which case, yeah brush off what you can before driving.
But I get it, especially when it gets a bit warmer and the snow kinda melts a bit and gets icy and sticks.
The hot water will melt the snow and ice, don’t worry. The car wash deals with ice chunks from wheel wells all the time. Its just more water and road grime.

Thanks, yeah, that makes sense.
