Should white cars avoid car washes?

I have just purchased a white 2015 Toyota Camry and have been told to avoid car washes at all costs. Is this correct or a furphy?

Car washes are generally not good for any car and really should be avoided by everyone. Being hammered by high pressure water and swept by brushes doesn't do the paint any favours. Hand washing using clean water and a clean cloth is the best way to look after your car if you can do it.
