Every detail shop needs to have a TV in a waiting room with this video on constant repeat.
Yes yes yes!!!
Exactly this video will be a good demonstration of what can happen to your car if u run it through a tunnel wash
Agree, will definitely have to share this with friends and family as well as clients.
This is such a good idea even showing a playlist from a RUclips channel would be great !
Even cheap hand car wash will replicates the result they are showing here...
I'm surprised your credit card wasn't declined for a suspicious purchase 🤣
Hahahha the best comment ever!
Wow, thanks for doing this in the name of science, ouch!
Really took one for the team in this one. Respect
Yep
It’s a Tesla - paint quality isn’t it’s strength. So if he was going to gamble a car, it’s that one
Much respect for taking one for the team. This made my heart drop but appreciate you really showing people how bad this can get.
I think he said “no” to the “is it safe to go through” question.
Yeah hes totally wrong an automated car wash leaves no scratches as hand washing does!
I can hear the pain in your voice brother. This was difficult to watch man!!
Never again!
I was ready to tear up myself 🥺😢
@@ChicagoAutoPros lmao~!
I truly appreciate the level of work you put into making the car perfect and then risking it all just for our education. This is such a great video and I truly appreciate it.
I was waiting for this video to drop for a few weeks now as a detailer and this has blown my mind away. Thank you Chicago Auto Pros!
I’m really digging all the new videos that really go in depth with products and etc. Thanks again for you and Greg and Justin for putting together awesome hands on team building meeting today. So happy to be apart of this company/family. This company is straight up legit and the real deal. Love you guys🤘
As a detailer I obviously new what was going to happen. But to see the before and after shots and to have it all in one video is awesome. Awesome video! Lots of detailers will and should reference this video to help customers understand the real reality of a car wash after a paint correction and or ceramic coating. Great content guys 🙂
I'd be interested to see the damage after a "safe" wash on soft tesla paint for comparison - great stuff
You may see several minor scuffs. But it’s definitely not gonna be all scratched up with thousands of deep scratches like the tunnel does.
@@michaelzheng3129 the tunnel made scratches because it didn’t use any prewash programme under high water pressure to lift off some dust and dirt but instead went straight for the shampoo and brushes which is a recipe for swirl marks
@@vlatkomafija that’s one thing too
@@vlatkomafija it will scratch the paint in the same way even with prewash!
@@FuzzySvini naaah
Wow you are the man👍🏻I always knew that but would never ever expect that one car wash would do such as damage.
YES! This had not been done properly before, thanks for the vid! And haven't even watched it yet!
Loving these Series man. Can’t wait for more.
Thanks so much for doing this. It's good to see some real world stuff rather than watching water beading all the time. Disappointing that the ceramic coating didn't protect better, but it was in line with my experiences of it's scratch protection which are definitely over-hyped by many manufacturers.
The video we've all been waiting for!! 🤟
thanks for the sacrifice and the teaching.. Great video!!
Dude you guys are killing it with this type of content! 👍🏻
Whoa, kudos for daring to do that! This is 1 vid I'm sharing with family and friends.
Great video and not unexpected results. Would have liked to see some more comparison of the coated vs uncoated areas. Curious how much protection the ceramic really offered.
thanks for posting this. New 2021 BMW 840i arrives next week. I'll be washing it by hand!
Thanks Jason. Great video. You’re teaching us something very useful. I really appreciate the real world education. I have a client with your model Tesla but luckily it’s white so a lot easier to work with.
You’re welcome!
Well most people don't have a detail garage with floor drains to wash their cars and by the looks of the weather on the day of your shooting I doubt many are doing a driveway job either! :) A real good tip for everyone who wants to minimize the possibility of damage from car wash brushes is to ask for a "full wrap retract" from the attendant. This option flows all the good suds over your car and minimizes or eliminates contact from the evil spinning brushes. Great option for someone who keeps their car clean but needs a wash. Oh and yeah, that tire shine option must NOT be a part of your options at purchase YUK! Great channel guys!
I love ONR! (Optimum No Rinse) great vid as always!
Thanks for your sacrifice dude. Just clearified my thought abiut automatic car washes. I'll keep doing it my self by hand
That hurt just watching, thank you for your service🥲
Thanks for doing this! Gotta share this with my customers. Ouch!
Jason you're one crazy man! Could I link this video on my website? This is such a brilliant video to actually show the damage car washes do!! Amazing work as always
Appreciate this video, thanks! 💪🏾
Great video for all to see. You polished once already, what product & pad do you like to do it a second time to remove the tunnel wash scratches? What would be your polish of choice for this situation? It would be beneficial info for all to hear. Thanks, love your videos.
Once I saw those rotating side brushes coming for your new Tesla it was like fingernails scratching across a chalkboard. I was cringing inside and I could hardly stand it. Even more damage to the paint than I ever imagined. Thank you for showing this to us.
Dang Jason! Thanks for taking the hit for all of us!
That’s a great insight into a mechanical car wash and the damage they cause off one wash 😳
Not the video the world asked for - but the video the world needed.
I was in the full svc carwash & detail business for about 20yrs. I can tell you that each operator has a different idea of how to treat their customer. Some are very educated in the best, safest products, procedures and equipment to use and some not so much. I saw quite a few things in that tunnel that made me cringe and knew what was going to happen. If you do care that much about your 2nd biggest investment (usually) of your life, find a good operator or learn to do it yourself. Also as devils advocate, not all self proclaimed detailers know what they are doing either. Love the channel and what you do.
Great video! Would you say letting salt sit on your paint for a longer time is better than going through a tunnel car wash?
I always watched your videos without being subscribed because they were always on the front page but this video just made me sub. Thanks for the great content👍
Thanks for the sub!
@@ChicagoAutoPros I might be wrong but I think that Tesla updated their terms and conditions to void warranty if you take your car through a tunnel carwash since it can mess up the sensors?
Great video..here is a good one. I brought my perfectly clean car to the dealership for an oil change. After paying the invoice I went outside only to find it had been washed and all the water drops were now frozen on the body and windows. I headed straight to my local wand wash to take off all the ice crystals.
I’m glad i watched this video because i was planning on taking my new black truck through on of those cars washes . Living here in Canada it’s almost winter and to prevent my water pipes from bursting my out side water source is shut off now . therefore i can’t wash my truck at home right now . In the past i’ve always done the touch less car wash but i notice the last time my truck wasn’t even clean after spending almost $20 . So now I go to a pressure washer type car wash and use a soft car wash mitt during the winter months
Thank you for this scientific experiment on your car, hopefully it will buff out with polishing. Good luck :)
thanks for the great details!
Awesome video. I guess touchless wash in the winter is the only option until it’s warmer out? Either way thank you👍
This is why I use touch-less car washes in winter when I can’t hand wash my rust bucket.
Those touch-less washes use strong chemicals which strip the protection off your car.
@@windycitystig3680 Some don't. I've clayed and waxed my car back in August. Wax is still on it even going through the same touchless wash 1 or 2 times a week.
Some do some dont. My local touchless wont even remove all the dirt. Yesterday i used Koch Chemmi Green Star at 10:1 and sprayed down my whole jeep before running it through. It was 80-90% clean. I finished with Mckees sio2 waterless wash. Surprised how well it came out.
@@socialjusticewarrior9601 hard to say if that’s your wax still holding up or another chemical. Touch less car washes apply a “drying aid” chemical to the vehicle just before the blowers to create water behavior and help assist in drying the vehicle by forced air. If it wasn’t for this chemical the water would just blur around on the surface instead of blowing clean on vehicles without protection. It is mostly expected of these types of washes that the chemicals are so strong most sealants and even some coatings do get attacked by their wash process.
@@verospremiumcarcare The car wash I go to has just a soap soak period and rinse. I'm in and out in 2 or 3 minutes.
Thanks for that 👌. You did paint protection on my C8 and I’ll definitely avoid car washes!🤑
I had a separate question, is it better to leave a car dirty if I don’t have time to do a nice careful hand washing? Less frequent careful cleaning versus more frequent quick washes?
Great video. Living in NH I need a easier winter washing option. Do you have or could you do a touchless car wash?
Brilliant content! 👏
I use to hand wash my 96 Corolla once a week back in the 2010s. Now that I have more money and a 2020 honda insight, I just go to the car wash twice a week because I'm lazy and always like my car being clean. If I ever start to notice swirls and if it bothers me enough, I'll just get a paint correction.
Great video! Painful to watch it get scratched up. Do these tunnel washes strip carnauba wax and polymer sealants?
The guy who said no has no idea......That Modesta jacket should ring a bell. Great video and hello from the Netherlands.
Wow! Impressive how damaged the paint is after that tunnel car wash...we saw you using ONR, I'd love to see you explain how and when you use it (that's what I use as I have no access to a hose). Keep up the nice videos! Greetings from France.
awesome vid! what polish compound did you use in the video?
Amazing the scratches after 1 wash. I was taking my car thru twice a week for 3 months before I came to CAP. No wonder my "new" car looked so bad. Thanks for the education.
Painful to watch!! I’ve already shared this with multiple people showing how important it is to educate yourself and do it right by doing it yourself! Thanks for the video!
Jason has balls of steel! nice stuff dude
Love this! "Is it going to scratch my paint?", asks the guy in the Modesta jacket....
Dayyyyuuummmm. That’s just harsh 🥺 Thanks for doing this for the science.
Thank you for showing this:)
Wow! Great informative video. Thanks for sharing! I’m disabled so hand washing & polishing my car is impossible. What is O&R (ONR) and where can I get it?
Hahahaha, Love it man! Keep the vids coming
Great vid, good demo, next time test if there is a difference in scratching between one bucket and two bucket wash method.
Next video!
I felt your pain, it made me physically ill watching you roll through that rock tumbler. Thanks for doing this to show people the light.
Bless you for doing this experiment haha
Brave man! It’s always reassuring knowing you can fix the car wash damage. Sadly when you live in a winter wonderland, keeping the road salt off your car comes first and paint correction and detailing are reserved for the good weather. Love your detailing video content. Can’t wait to drive down to give you some work! Hope the borders open soon! Stay safe and healthy.👍🇨🇦
Great video !
My god Jason after all that energy getting this car perfect ha ha. Hats of Bro..
Would love you to wash my Audi when your in the UK next !!
All brand new cars come with swirls and holograms in the paint. The factory washes them, they get shipped, wrapped, bumped, washed at the dealership etc. I would also think a “detailer” would know the difference between a “scratch” and a hologram in the paint. Holograms and spider webbing can come from hand washing too.
You are speaking to the choir ..... plus he cleaned up the car and even admitted to their being scratches before hand and buffed them out so he’s admitting to pre-existing damage that he detailed to get it ready for the wash process . No car is really perfect like you said . Even those hand washing do a lot of damage
Great video! Can you share the link with how to wash please?
Good video guys! Great to educate people about express exterior washes. I have been putting a video together that discuss more about the "why" the equipment is actually damaging the paint. No two car washes are the same. Some will cause more damage than others. We need to start talking more about this topic in general. Hopefully it will lead to better washing practices!
Newer automatic car washes actually use closed cell foam which cannot hold dirt
Its gotta be the age of the car wash. Im a cabbie and have to wash my car daily so i use the local carwash every day before my shift. Easily 200+ washes my cars had and its paint is in relatively good condition. Dont know if the paint is better quality or the car wash is better maintained.
@@aidancarwash Where did you learn this?
Excellent video mate! Future video idea, put an assortment of LSPs on your car and go through a touchless wash to show how strong the chemicals are that they use. I know most will apply their own rinse aid, but a quick rewash after will remove it and show how harsh the soaps are.
OK, maybe use someone else's car, but it needs to be a spread between waxes, coatings, sealants, etc.
I love you for doing this video, bro. Real world evidence of the price of "convenience."
How do touchless carwashes compare to the tunnel carwash that you used in this video?
Is there any chance that you would do a video on one of those?
Thanks for your videos. I am learning a lot. Keep up the great work!
There not compairable they are two totally different things!
Taking one for the team with your new car, that's what makes you a leader in the detailing community. Irrefutable proof that people are paying to have their vehicles punished and destroyed from lack of education and understanding. Awesome series of videos man, looking forward to more. Contradulations on the new ride as well.😎👍🏻
Thank you Brian.
Thank for doing it, hopefully this video will see a lot of people, maybe it will educate them not to take car through tunnel washes!
Fantastic video. I tried to share it on the Tesla Model 3 Facebook group. Admins blocked it twice!
Now this is content, i am sick of seeing same product reviews and how to. Well done 👍
Thanks for your sacrifice! How was the Tesla paint job compared to other OEMs? Average? Better? Worse?
Very insightful
I put the new Turtle Wax spray Sealand shine am I car and was very impressed with these shinininess and it's a longevity protection
I thought about taking my 2000 Toyota Camry LE through a car wash myself but haven't. The other owners have. There are scratches on the Camry. I'm trying to undo what hasn't been done. Thanks for the video.
I'm familiar with this cash wash, they use plastic bristles. If possible on a future video you could try Delta Sonic or Fullers, they both are soft touch cloth instead of plastic. To see if the soft touch makes a difference. They are both in the area as well.
I'd like to know Jason's thoughts on touchless car washes. I remember from the recent F11 demonstration video on the Car Supplies Warehouse channel he said they use pretty harsh chemicals. Can you all do a video taking about touchless car wash?
What did you use to polish? Came out awesome
Yup. Bought my car used at 86k KM, the single owner before must’ve washed it weekly at one of those washes
Would love to see what happens to new paint through "touchless" car washes. Was told those were safe but who knows 🤷♂️
Could you show the results of a touchless wash? Or what is your opinion on them? I'm guessing they don't scratch but I know they use harsher chems.
I would like to know this as well.
I pretreat with close to the same ph level as a touchless before every wash and I only do that to clean as much off the car as I can before a contact wash, I also add protection after every wash so anything that is lost in protection is added back after the wash. The only real downside to non contact washes is it seems to leave a film especially if it adds a wax at the end.
From my experience a touchless wash doesn't scratch, but the detergent eats away at coatings and doesn't even get the car very clean. I use it mostly for the undercarriage wash in the winter but then make sure to find a warm day so I can use a waterless wash after with about 40 microfiber towels and put a spray coating back on at least. I clean the wheels with a typical wheel bucket and pump sprayer in the winter. Wheels and tires have to be done like a typical hand wash.
For waterless wash I really love Ammo Frothe I have to say.
@@irocvert8728 On cold and extremely salty areas, I'd say running your car through a touchless every couple of weeks to get rid of the excess salt is the "lesser evil" if you can't properly hand-wash often, eh?
@@Orangetilt Yes, absolutely... and if its above freezing I use the Ammo NYC Frothe waterless wash with microfibers to get it really clean and put a topper on it.
Touchless is the lesser of automatic wash evils...
Must‘ve hurt a lot but thank you very much for showing thousands of interested car lovers what it really does 😘
Very cool experiment and with you very own, very expensive car!
Cherry on top would have been some horror movie music while you were in that tunnel hahaha :)
I tell my customers never take your car through a car wash with brushes thanks for the great video now I got prove thanks J.
I take my hat off to you for doing this video, a great advertisement for not using poor washing methods. Are you going to show before and after on the safe method of washing?
Damn they should come up with a paint that doesn’t get scratch so easily, the only way not to get scratches is not drive it and garage kept. Even leaving outside only will get scratches by the elements. Thanks for the research about how paints are so delicate, much appreciated.
This is exactly why I spent a lot of money to protect my car's paint. I was shocked at just how bad one car wash can damage your paint.
I like how you are driving your brand new Tesla on winter roads with the salt and sand used for the snow traction just coating your car and are so concerned about what the car wash is a bout to do to your electric toy. Cheers!
Anyway I can get this video on repeat in my shop
Next episode can you demonstrate the advantages of clear bra that self heals will this still be banged up if taken into a local washbay/automatic car wash
Wow
How about a touchless car wash, I use those during the winter. What is your opinion on those?
Exactly that is why I always prefer to wash my car by myself and even same situation with the basic maintenance stuffs.
Not everybody’s take care of things as if they were yours.
Love the series right now!
*I just don't understand the white interior in these cars!
@ChicagoAutoPros What pad(s) did you use, and what paint correction compounds and polishes did you use?
