just buy a blue car
I always use the car wash, hot wax is my favourite, love the bubblegum colours and smell
jup I fucked up my paintwork :'(
maybe don’t use a car wash that uses the outdated brushes and instead stick to the “new” ones that also uses air pressure to blow away the waterdrops. herp di derp
Modern automatic car wash systems have carlite brushes (A soft foam material), and these will NOT scratch your car!!!
yep I never use the brush at the jet wash
Just buy an offroader and the dirt is suddenly makes the car look better, not worse.
First things first wash your car at home and polish the paint with a good polish and not a cheap one. Wax as well or just keep paying for paint jobs
I have an expensive car. Usually go to a Shell garage and use brush and pressure . I can’t see any unusual affect! Their brush is also soft not like that you sweep gardening debris
and had the actual carwash had a drying procedure not water spots
My friends think I’m tight for spending 2-3hrs washing and detailing my car once a week. I tell them keep paying someone to ruin your paintwork. Nothing is more pleasurable in motoring care than to see a clean and well polished/waxed car achieved by your own labour. The finish is the fruit. Always tastes so good!
There is an EASY way to fix this problem… DO NOT use petrol station car washes.. PROBLEM SOLVED!
The guy in the video used a sand impregnated brush and pushed down as hard as he can. He was essentially wet sanding the paint.
I get much better results using a very clean brush and gentle pressure. It caused far fewer scratches than the car wash.
And even funnier is people who do detailing for $300 dollars. lol something that is going to last for a month probably …$300 …out of their mind.
Its a fucking car not a heart.In ten years will be piece of garbage
Rigged vedio, no way a car wash is good for ur car
wash and go. Always works fr me.
Watch ChrisFix’s video on how to clean your car…
I would never go to those Eastern European guys or use a car wash. Jet wash wise I only use the lance to clear the dirt from the lower part of the car and the alloys. The rest of the wash is done at home using two-bucket method, microfibre cloths etc. Usually takes 3-4 hours, car paintwork is protected but to be fair only stays clean for two days.
So much racism
do it yourself!
MY HAND WASH PLACE DOESN’T USE A SQUEEGEE, TERRY CLOTH.
tbf if u jet the brush if 1st no problem
I have to throw in there that there was no high pressure only car wash exercise. All 3 methods shown involved some sort of material being in contact with the paint. High pressure only car washes are virtually all that exist where I am from and they are fantastic at knocking down the stuck on dirt and sand without ever touching the paint. Thus causing almost zero damage as compared to the other 3 methods demonstrated. Follow up with a detail spray wipe down and you got a winning combination.
*I take it that the hand car wash using a microfiber towel instead of a squeegee would get a 0/10, right?*
That’s why I don’t trust anyone but myself to wash my car. I pay top dollar, however, to get my car detailed as that like of work requires carefulness.
Not my idea of a handjob lol
Funny how they only show the scratches on the bottom. Looks like they just heavily scratched the bottom to make this segment.They tried really hard to scratch the car when they were using that broom for the manual car wash.
What if you just leave a primer finish?
