With hand car washes popping up all over the place the temptation to use them as a regular way to keep your car clean is hard to resist. The convenience of the work being completed in 5-10 minutes while you wait and normally for less than ten pounds it all sounds fantastic so why wouldn't you use them? Here are some reasons worth considering...
The first thing is your car is normally subjected st
rong caustic chemical as its very good at removing grime but will also strip any wax protection your paintwork has leaving it exposed to day to day wear and the elements. The second and more serious is that if this is applied to a dry surface there will be some form of damage to the top layer of paint and the severity is dictated by the strength of the dilution. Using car wash standard chemical products on warm or worse, hot wheels, will generally result in some form of damage to the wheel and caliper finish. At Unique Valets we only uses non-caustic, mild citrus degreasers or ph neutral snow foams and only ever on pre-rinsed, wet vehicles.
