Feedback on Car Wash systems

**gaijin** · March 14th, 2005 11:50 AM

I've been bringing my car for a washing at a nearby gas station with a car wash system every other week for the past 2 months during winter as I cannot clean it myself because it is too friggin cold outside. Just wondering if the paint job on my car will get scratched from being washed there often? [I have a CPC paint sealant applied to my car which is supposed to be good for 5 years (therefore no waxing needed just water wash).]

actually, dyan ko nakuha yung maliliit na scratches ko eh. nung nag- try ako ng automated car wash machine ng shell.

In using the automated carwash, small scratches are inevitable. But even with hand/manual washing, scratches are also inevitable.

with a wash mitt / terry cloth / micro fiber towel? nope... haven't seen a carwash induced scratch / swirl on my 2 year old rav4 yet.

but if you let those corner "car wash" shops do the job for you, then that's possible.

Yep. Yung corner "car wash". That's what I meant by hand/manual wash. Thanks for noticing.

The place where you wash the car doesn't contribute to whether your car will get scratched or not, it's how you wash the car and what you use to wash the car.
