Touchless car wash

[Swirlbuster]

So i'm going through a paint correction. But it looks great but man my paint scratches so easy. Is my clear made of butter....lol


got me thinking about just doing touch less wash from here on out to prevent scratches. What do you think?

you know i was just thinking about going to one today. Never been but i heard it is indeed a touch less wash but i am just not sure about drying part.

The fact is that it just doesn't clean well at all. Hand wash is the answer.

Touchless washes vary in cleaning ability based on a variety of factors-chemicals, water hardness, and effectiveness of the particular machine among others. If you wash often they generally work well. They usually don't do a great job of removing heavy road film. But a well run operation can provide a pretty decent wash for frequent users.

I'd also add the harsh chemicals used to ensure the cleaning happens without physical contact also seems to shorten the lifespan of the LSP.

I don't know what type of vehicle is being discussed, but I've found the touchless washes in my area are mostly calibrated for pick up trucks and SUV's. I drive a hatchback car. None of them do really well and I've noticed several that get no lower than mid-door and most of the jets shoot clean over my car.

Best bet is to hand wash very carefully.

Personally haven't noticed any additional swirls from going touchless car wash, but it also barely cleans anything....
would be easy way to get rid dust off the cars tho :p

I only use touch-less during the winter to get road salt off during the harsh New England winters. I avoid traditional tunnel washes and agree that hand washing is best, but not all aways possible.
