A question about Touch-Less washes

I had a customer ask me this question;

Ryan...is the drive through wash hard on the paint with the chemicals?

So I thought I would post my response, just in case anyone else is curious;

There are two thoughts on this.
Yes, touch-less wash cleaning soaps can be strong, but there is no friction to damage the clear coat.
Hand washing is good, but it does wear the clear coat and often when a vehicle is dirty you are essentially rubbing the grit over your vehicles paint as you hand wash it.
In my experience the cars that look the worst over time are the ones that get hand washed often and rarely waxed.
The very best thing you can do for your vehicle is to wash it via a touch-less wash 2 to 4 times per month.
Then once a month hand wash it, as a touch-less wash does tend to leave a film over time and finally be sure to wax your vehicle at least twice a year.
A well waxed vehicle will have a barrier between the grit and the paint to help protect it when hand washing, plus a touch-less wash will work much better on a well waxed car.
Hope that helps!
Ryan.

New Car Wash System!

We just installed a new system on our  Wash World Touch Less Car Wash.

It is called Virtual Attendant and in short it means that our wash is even better than before.
Occasionally a wash will bump into a mirror, trailer hitch or bike rack. This would cause the system to shut down and a vehicle would be left unwashed. Plus the wash would be out of order until a technition could come and reset it.

With the Virtual Wash Attendant the wash is equipped with much more effective vehicle sizing equipment. And if for some reason the wash does bump anything it will reset, adjust and automatically continue washing.

Click here to have a look at a video of the Virtual Wash Attendant in action.

Clean Car More Fuel Efficient?

In 2002, an engineer named Tom Wagner Jr., in an article on money saving tips, reported improved fuel efficiency after giving his car a scrub down. Myth Busters scored a point for the enterprizing engineer by proving that the only money you'll save motoring around in a dirty car is quarters at the car wash. Visit Myth Busters Web Site to read the article.

Ever Thought About Where The Dirt Goes?


10,000lbs of road grim, from 25,000 cars!
That means almost 1/3 of a pound of dirt comes off each car washed.
If every resident of White Rock and South Surrey washed their car at home in one month four times this much waste would go staight into the sewer system.
