Automatic washes are destroying my paint, need a proper hand wash
Zitat von Gast am 19. Oktober 2026, 15:27 UhrI've been using the automatic wash near my office for convenience, but I've started noticing fine scratches all over the paint, especially on the boot and roof where the brushes seem to drag. I knew automatic washes weren't ideal but I didn't realise they were doing this much damage. Now I'm looking for a Reliable hand car wash near ICAD instead, where someone actually takes care and doesn't just run it through a machine. Has anyone found a hand wash that's genuinely careful with the paint, not just someone with a bucket and a dirty sponge? Also, is it worth asking them what products they use, or is that overthinking it? I'd rather pay a bit more and stop the damage before it gets worse.
