Car washes are always a risk. The people who work there are not overly concerned with door dings, scratches etc. Just to do their job and get tips.
For more upscale cars it is strongly suggested to use a detailer or pro wash service.
Just my 2 cents.

the best part is that you got dinged by a lambo. You would think that the carwash would put its best guy on those cars.

PDR, easy fix since there is no paint damage.

The scratch can probably be removed by some polishing.

The gallardo door is very pointy. I dented my own car, garage wall. Yes, it's a pain but fixing the dent is easy.

You bring your own wash mitt though don't you?

I just started the 2 bucket method with the grit guards after I bought my 360 Spider. It is amazing to see the amount of dirt and grit in the bottom of your rinse bucket after a wash. The soap bucket is always free of anything. Really makes a difference if you start with a clean detailed and polished car. My neighbors think I am nuts, but I laugh when I look at their black suv's with all the swirl marks.
