The Hidden Cost of Traditional Car Washes
Traditional friction car washes rely on brushes, belts, and physical contact. While effective at cleaning, this contact can sometimes trap dirt or debris, which over time may:
- Create fine swirl marks
- Contribute to light surface scratches
- Gradually wear down clearcoat
- Pose added risk to exterior parts such as mirrors or antennas
