I have seen comments saying not to use it. I have always used it and haven’t had a problem, but maybe some car washes are not as well maintained as ours. 🤷🏼♂️ It would be a good idea to check the brush first, to make sure the last person didn’t leave behind a bunch of grease or dirt on it. You can always bring your own car wash mitt if you don’t want to trust the brush. 👍🏻

It puts micro scratches / swirls into the clear coat. Do it enough times and you see spider web looking lines in the paint when the sun is on it. Best way is to clean with two bucket wash with microfiber wash mitt. It’s important to protect your paint from rusting. Resale value goes down and potential repairs needed too especially if you live in the rust belt

Even paying it twice is still cheaper than most other car washes, even the automated drive thrus which i typically rely on.

Dad, i love that you are showing us how to wash a car but i think it might be a better idea to find a manual car wash that also has a foam gun instead of a foam brush! Bring your own microfiber wash mitts and use that instead. The brush is too coarse and will damage your paint. In the beginning it wont be easy to see but under the sunlight you will be seeing the swirls and the 'lovemarks'.
@rcnumbers3562 Жыл бұрын
My biggest tip for cleaning wheels is to buy a wheel cleaner, preferably a ph neutral one. It makes cleaning wheels at home super easy because the product is extremely potent. Spray it on the wheels and let it soak a little, it will turn a certain colour, because it is reacting with the carbon particles that come off the brakes. You can then either wash it off or agitate it a little and rinse it off.
