How Do Automatic Car Washes Damage Your Car?:
First of all, a lot of these car washes are all about getting the job done quickly. This means they are often using chemicals that are simply too harsh for your car! While these chemicals are great at removing dirt and grime, they can also remove protective layers from your vehicle.
The chemicals are just the beginning. You may have read in our other blog, Could Washing Your Car Be Damaging It, that we referred to these automatic washes as slapping your car with a dirty mop – while that might sound harsh it’s true once you think deeper about it.
These car washes are rarely cleaned, and will but a lot of damage on the exterior of your car.
Why Wash Your Car At All?:
Finding a healthy balance between a clean car and damaging your car can be tricky at first but it doesn’t have to be. While, you can over clean, strip and damage the paint by using dirty sponges and other materials you can also damage your car by not cleaning it and letting the natural elements take to it.
