Automatic car washes are fast and cheap—but they can quietly damage your car over time.
Automatic Car Wash: Risks
- Brushes collect dirt and small rocks
- Creates thousands of micro-scratches
- Uses strong chemicals that remove protection
- Doesn’t clean details or corners
- Towels used for drying are not always clean
Professional Hand Wash: Benefits
- Soft, clean microfiber mitts
- pH-neutral soap
- Filtered water (no mineral spots)
- Safe two-bucket method
- Gentle microfiber drying
- Attention to details like emblems, wheels and trim
A professional wash protects your vehicle instead of harming it.
Why Paint Decontamination Is Necessary to Keep Your Car Shiny and Healthy
Even if you wash your car weekly, the paint gathers tiny contaminants that stick to the surface and cannot be removed with a normal wash.
How to tell if your paint is contaminated
Lightly slide your hand over the hood.
If it doesn’t feel smooth like glass, it’s contaminated.
Common contaminants
- Metal particles
- Tree sap
- Road tar
- Brake dust
- Industrial pollution
- Pollen
- Salt
Why decontamination matters
- Restores smoothness
- Improves shine
- Prevents corrosion
- Prepares the surface for wax, sealant or ceramic coating
- Extends the life of your paint
A properly decontaminated car always looks cleaner, glossier and newer.
