Automatic Car Washes with Brushes: Some automatic car washes use large spinning brushes made of stiff materials. Over time, these brushes can create micro-scratches, swirl marks, and even dull the finish of your vehicle, which compromises the integrity of the clear coat. If dirt or debris gets caught in the brushes, it can also scratch the surface.
Touchless Car Washes: While touchless car washes avoid the risk of physical scratches, they often use stronger chemicals to break down dirt, which can gradually wear down the clear coat if used frequently.
