This will raise the questions. do automatic car washed and self service carwashes damage our cars' paint? should we use a car detailing service as an alternative?




Automatic Car washes ? Self service car wash?

Automatic carwashes and self service car wash are totally harmful for your car.

The brushes used in automatic car washes, are not well- maintained and it slaps your car's paint. they will leave you with horrible small scratches called swirl marks. Take it a few times to automatic car wash and to ruin your car pains...

automatic carwashes are fast and they might seem a good option but they are not. please avoid automatic carwashes. they are cheap for a reason.


At the end The result would be :

  • not entirely clean car

  • swirl marks on your paint

  • water spot because the blower does not dry your car completely

The worst option is self service carwash. only god knows how many people have used these brushes and what kind of dirts and how many stones are in these brushes.

and you will take these dirty brushes and drag it all over the paint? how often do you think these brushes are maintained.

Ask Yourself, Why is it so cheap ? a high quality product and service is never cheap.

sure, if you don't care about exposing your car to low quality chemicals and super dirty Brushes, why not! but if you care about your car and how it really looks you should never use a car wash or a self service car wash.


Wash your car yourself, it takes time, but the results will be totally different. use the Two bucket method.
