Beware And Avoid Automatic Car Washes At Gas Stations
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Anyone who cares about the finish of their car should never use a car wash that's not touchless. Repeated washes like this will break down and ruin your paint job. Just listen to how much force these rubberized strips are putting out, slapping and pounding.
For those who haven't studied in Car Wash College and I personally can attest that if such a collage did exist it would be named Belanger University. I would run the program for 22 weeks. You learn all about the car wash industry and what can happen when you maintain a car wash the right way. But some companies actually do have a car wash collage for those who are looking to get into the car wash industry. People should do research and see what it really takes and what goes on behind the scenes. When they bash car washes it hurts all of us. I am inclined to join the car wash collage but I love to learn about how these complex machine's operate. You should know what your bashing before you say something.
Thanks for seeing the video here.
@@CMRinehart Thanks for posting. Also these machines use friction which is 10 times safer.
remove your antenna before you enter. Common sense
The idea of Soft Touch Washes scratching your car is an old idea.
Let's do a Deep Dive:
Commercial car wash brush types (sorted chronologically)
Filament (nylon, polyester, etc.) A looser version of what you'd see on a broom. The older it goes, the more frayed it gets. Fraying causes scratches.
Cloth Used on older machines, such as Broadway, Autec, etc. Traps small dirt, and can't be torn off easily, actually bent my liscence plate once.
Foam (Different for each brand) Can't trap dirt. Unless someone for some reason ties a rock in the brushes, you aren't getting scratched by these.
The rumor is very old, and so is Filament and Cloth, thus, the rumor is outdated. Be weary of car washes you go to.
In manual bays, use the high pressure to spray off the foam brush if you're going to use it beforehand.
In IBAs (in-bay automatics, or just automatics for short), Make sure it isn't filament or cloth, or that its well maintained.
Hope this helps!
I totally understand yur feelings with auto car washes but brush materials are much better these days.
I'm sure you're right. Maybe I'll get a rental car sometime and use it as a guinea pig. Thanks for seeing here.
@@CMRinehart specificly german car wash manufacturer christ. Has to my opinion the best material. Its from a different cloth compared to the material this ryko uses
@@carwashgaming3727 Great info thanks a bunch for seeing here.
@@CMRinehart they recently released a unit called VEGA. Its dope looking af. I really suggest looking it up. Softest material possible they said. And the side brushes can tilt up to 25 degrees to clean the rear of a car better
@@carwashgaming3727 I will check it out thanks a bunch.
Those are not Rubber cloth brushes its called the Ryko Foambrite brushes and it also doesnt ruin my mom or dads car paint on the car
I should have Googled these like you probably did. Thanks for clarification.
Well, I will just be nice. It is true that Automatic car washes are not all safe. As a customer standpoint, I would stay away from the old and dirty-looking car washes. As long as car washes are maintained well, then they are at least safe for the vehicle. Also, there are touch-free automatic car washes that do not use spinning brushes. I did go to a car wash not too long ago that had a new brush system. It replaced a touchless system. However, it was misleading because it still had: "Welcome to the Laserwash TOUCHFREE system". Because of that, I would always look inside of the wash bay if possible for any of those brushes. There are also some auto car washes that offer both touch, and touch free. I actually understand what you are saying. It looks a bit worrying because of how that machine moves with all of those brushes. And by the way, there are a lot of people who are car wash enthusiasts which is why they like Automatic car washes.
By the way, I am equal with everybody. I understand this video. I recommend using touch-free car washes if you ever need a quick automatic car wash stop, or, you can always wash your car at home.
Gas Station washes aren't terribly bad if they're maintained well. Express tunnel washes are better and hand wash.. has got to be one of the worst thing you could do plus those brushes don't apply such force unless routine maintenance is done. Those brushes work off of air pressure usually and some of the Tunnel equipment uses Hydraulics or Electricity. Another thing those brushes are foam called FoamBrite which is a name that the company of this system (Ryko) names their brushes. Foam material called Carlite made in Italy, To be honest I hate people bashing car washes when they haven't done any study on them in the first place!! They're not bad.
CarWashExplorations me too, I also hate the people who berate soft touch car washes
Are people bashing car washes or just expressing a dislike?
Charles M Rinehart have you ever heard of opinions? Smh...
Soft touch car washes are usually well maintained and the brushes are made of closed cell foam, closed cell foam is water resistant, dirt resistant, and completely safe on the vehicle. Car wash brushes do not scratch or ruin the paint job of any kind of vehicle. People gotta stop berating all kinds of soft touch car wash systems.
I touched the brush strips at a self serve car wash. Very light foam type material. But I still prefer hand washing. Thanks for seeing.
Charles M Rinehart Hand washing actually causes really bad damages.
it does tickle tho
Good one. Thanks for seeing.
For all the lovers of these car washes who say they're good, ask someone who's had their car scratched with an old style radio antenna that broke off.
@@CARWASHCHANNEL. I wash mine at home.
@@CMRinehart just go to a touch free automatic carwash they don’t scratch cars and it better than home wash
AND FOR GOD SAKE, ALL OF YOU AUTO-WASH LOVERS COMMENTING STUFF, STOP IT WITH THE DRAMA ALREADY!
Shut up. Stop being rude and screaming at innocent users.
Yes, I've seen the emblems on countless Fords, MINI Coopers and BMW's where it tore off the colors or lettering from repeat car washes such as this one. Great video.
Thanks for seeing SF. I appreciate it.
@@CMRinehart My pleasure. The more comments you get, the more views you will get. ;)
Not even filament could do that with one wash. It would be a streak of scratches, not ripping off te paint. Paint doesn't just "tear off".
Hand washing stinks. AUTOMATIC CAR WASHES FOREVER.
Obviously you're a lazy guy. He-He.
@@CMRinehart Har har. Very funny, oh yeah “best” insult. -10/10. -_-
@@blazebrodypc2006official Just asking a question. I believe that hand washing people value such an important asset a lot.
Love those Christmas colored brushes.
Lina Umpierre Did you really have to comment that here? That is SO irrelevant.
That's why I don't trust that car wash machine plus it's very expensive and I don't use it often. Plus it can screw up the entire paint of the car. Plus it doesent do a good job and that's why I hand wash my car.
I agree. Plus hand washing is the best. Without question. Thanks for seeing.
if you take it to a regular car wash, the strength of the brushes are more profound and will scratch the hell out of your car. guaranteed. Stop crying, then wash it yourself
I do wash it myself. And I wasn't complaining, griping, or crying as you put it, just pointing out a fact. If anyone doesn't believe in facts or the truth, hey, that's their malfunction. But thanks for your critique, it thoroughly entertained me, and I'm being sincere.
Always make sure you only use 420 GSM towels on your car. I get mine on eBay.
Why should we Avoid automatic car washes at gas station’s?
@@vehiclehistory3571 Read the comments here.
I specifically use these 711 car washes and it looks exactly the same as the one in this video and it works great on my 2005 Buick Lacrosse and never had any issue with it, you're over dramatic...
I'm glad that you watched my video and left a comment I appreciate it. I'm just someone who prefers to be safe than sorry. All the best.
@@CARWASHCHANNEL. What scratches your car is low quality microfiber towels. 400 GSM or higher is the best. I get mine on eBay. Thanks for seeing here.
For best car wash: A pressure washer, foam cannon, nozzle for pressure washer and some microfiber towels.
#NoHandWash.
DatCarGuy310 You just destroyed your car’s paint with those hand wash materials.
Scotty Kilmer doesn't recommend automatic car washes either.
Scotty Kilmer dosent recommend you drive your car either and dooooooont get him started on his celica
@@deanb592 You're extremely familiar with Scotty, like a lot of carTubers. You have good taste.
@@CMRinehart Car people are overparanoid about soft-touches. This is why I always inspect brushes of car washes if I can, and make sure it looks maintained befor eI use soft touches. For touchless, it does't matter.
It's mostly people that have older cars that don't really care about the finish, just want it to be clean and cheaply done.
To be honest with you the touchless ones do not clean your car and these will ruin your paint , I will stick to washing my own vehicle - lol - Nice video
Same here Bonnie. I wash my own.
Okay. I've heard the dumb outdated rumor on soft touches. But HOW DO TOUCH FREE RUIN YOUR PAINT.
@@thecarwashesandmorechannel2892 It is called Water Pressure , Would you put a Power Washer everyday to wash your body ?? No cause the pressure causes scratches , Just like your clear coat the pressure over time will sand paper your clear coat in your car ,, especially the ones who love keeping it closer to the paint
@@BBsAdventures No it wont? XD. The pressure isn't high enough to do that. Even CAT 3535 Pumps can't manage to break off paint unless its already breaking, which signs say NOT TO USE IT IF THATS THE CASE. The cars paint and metal isn't your skin, jeez.
