A question about Touch-Less washes
I had a customer ask me this question;
Ryan...is the drive through wash hard on the paint with the chemicals?
So I thought I would post my response, just in case anyone else is curious;
There are two thoughts on this.
Yes, touch-less wash cleaning soaps can be strong, but there is no friction to damage
the clear coat.
Hand washing is good, but it does wear the clear coat and often when a
vehicle is dirty you are essentially rubbing the grit over your vehicles paint
as you hand wash it.
In my experience the cars that look the worst over time are the ones that
get hand washed often and rarely waxed.
The very best thing you can do for your vehicle is to wash it via a
touch-less wash 2 to 4 times per month.
Then once a month hand wash it, as a touch-less wash does tend to leave a
film over time and finally be sure to wax your vehicle at least twice a year.
A well waxed vehicle will have a barrier between the grit and the paint to
help protect it when hand washing, plus a touch-less wash will work much
better on a well waxed car.
Hope that helps!
Ryan.
