There is no better feeling than looking at your nicely washed car, then stepping inside and taking a chair in your fresh, clean seats. Now, a car wash can make your car look and feel better – but, could washing your car be damaging? We are here to help answer that question.

It is not just our incredible cleaning supplies and overall cleanliness that makes us the least damaging car wash option, but our care and attention to detail. 

 

We have been in this trade for a long time and know how to treat different materials in the best way to ensure your car will look and feel amazing for a very long time.

 

A Drive Through Car Wash:

 

Drive-through car washes can be very tempting. They are usually conveniently located and easily accessible. You do not have to make any appointments and you can slide right in. But, is there potential for damage? Yes! 

 

These drive-through washes have been proven to damage your car’s finish and paintwork. 

 

This is because the brushes that are run on those machines are usually not maintained. They can gather a lot of ‘stuff’ over time and become very tough on your car – resulting in scratches. 

 

You can imagine these machines like you would a dirty mop. 

 

They are not being cleaned in between and pick up dirt, dust and other materials that can scratch your car and make your paint dull. 

 

Washing At Home: 

 

Washing your car at home is probably the easiest option next to using a mobile valeting service (with a mobile valet, you don’t have to lift a finger – or leave your house). 

 

However, there are some risks to this. 

 

If you are new to car washing there is a chance you will use the wrong supplies, harsh products or the wrong sponges. 

 

A top tip from us is to use clean and soft materials when it comes to cleaning your car. You also want to retreat it gently.
