Living in Phoenix Arizona, you've probably seen one or two carwashes on the side of the road. We've all got that friend that swears by cobblestone. But contrary to popular belief automated car washes are not as good as they seem to be. Let me give you a few reasons as to why you should avoid automated car washes and why considering a detailer may be more beneficial to your investment.
-Can cause water spots: In automatic car washes, the chances of water spots being caused are pretty high if older equipment is used. This is due to the inefficient cleaning and drying process. These car washes also use regular water, and we all know the water in Phoenix is very bad.
-Scratches on the paint: Some automatic car washes still use abrasive brushes and bristles in the car wash bay. The worn-in brushes used in these car washes are more likely to cause scratches on your vehicle’s paint and can even damage your car’s clear coat. Even on the newer models these brushes collect debris from vehicles all throughout the day and eventually end up scratching your vehicle.
-Cannot reach all spots: Automatic car washes cannot clean the nooks and crannies of your vehicle. The dirt in these unreachable spots over time can cause damage. The most common spot missed by these car washes are around the license plate and your rims.
These car washes also can have long lasting effects on your cars appearance and even value. The harsh chemicals used wear down the clear coat on your vehicles paint and can eventually lead to clear coat failure. When this happens a simple buff will not bring your paint back. In most cases a 2 stage paint correction or even a new paint job is needed.
Now that you know the disadvantages of using an automated car wash, consider using a local detailer instead. We take special care of your investment and take precaution in avoiding all of the potential issues listed above! If you are interested in a free consultation or booking please call or text us today!
