Of course, In places where it’s cold (in Canada, where I live) car washes are mostly indoor so you can dry your car, wax it etc when it’s cold It’s also way cheaper, more efficient, doesn’t destroy your paint, and always does a better job than the automatic washes Smh

I've worked at a few washes and have been in the industry for a while. I can testify that washing the car by hand at home is actually the worst thing for your car. The microfiber towels with the pressure the average person applies causes more scratches than any automatic brush which applies no more than 15 Lbs of pressure. Not to mention automatic washes use about 5-15 gallons of water per car and recycle their water whereas home washing uses anywhere between 55-105 gallons that wind up in the storm drain. In addition, most auto care manuals included with vehicles strongly discourage hand washing and touch free washes because of the damage.

@kevinchiem4061 8 жыл бұрын

nice use of exaggeration "55-105 gallons" I"ll believe that when pigs fly, when the moon turns blue, and when I see it happen. It take a bucket full of water to wipe away and dirt and dust, maybe three for a really dirty car. And how would I know? I see it happen!

@94fleetwood49 7 жыл бұрын

55 Gallons? Full of BS. I rather wash my car with a clean brush and still use less than 10 gallons of water. The car wash carries many dirt particles and some debris from other vehicles that scratch your vehicle. Also, all auto care industry will best advised it's best results to wash the car by hand.

@joeb2588 5 жыл бұрын

Not sure how true those statements are. Touch free has no bristles to hold dirt or swirl the paint. Explain that to me and I'm not being sarcastic, I just want to know because I use touch free on my new car. Also I work with a guy so damn anal he ended up divorced...he washes by hand without fail one to two times a week, all year...his paint looks fine.

@deathgrind1 6 жыл бұрын

Those giant spinning rubber brushes scratch and ruin your car's finish by dragging the dirt and grit scraping it across the paint. Wash it by hand or go to a touchless car wash instead.

@SFCarWashChannel 8 жыл бұрын

You can't. Even if you perfectly hand wash your car, your car is damaged because hand wash mitts, sponges, etc roll dirt around on the vehicle's surface, creating swirl marks. Brushes in an automatic car wash are rinsed constantly, removing any dirt that could be rubbed against the vehicle's surface. The material that brushes are made of are also incapable of absorbing dirt.
