My sister recently got her 2024 330i in white. She loves it to death, her friends purchased a car wash pass at Petro Canada here in Canada, and they split the cost. 1 wash per day for a year and is split among the 3 of them. She gets a wash like every 2 days or something. But the thing is some of the car washes are not touch less. They are touch with bristles, and she showed me a video and I just cringed.
Then some are touchless, but regardless, aren’t the soaps in touchless washes bad for the vehicles clear coat? I am thinking of just cleaning it for her by hand and such. I’m mad at her because she isn’t taking care of this car she spent lots of money on.
Do you think cars are painted with nail polish?
Daily gas station car wash will be the best way to get the car paint dull. The coating lacquer gets micro scratches from the brushes if these are not properly cleaned or soft enough. What’s your guess where dirt and sand on the vehicle cleaned before yours end? Some is washed off, some is scrubbed off and some sticks to the brushes.
You want a dull looking car? Go for a cheap wash at a gas station. If someone needs to have the car cleaned on a daily basis, e/g/ as a professional chauffeur for luxury limousine services they will have the car hand washed but not use a rough gas station one.
I don’t disagree with you in the least! I guess the way you worded the first comment had made me think the car would be completely without a finish after a while of these washes lmao
