Here's what everyone else is asking!

Do automatic car washes scratch your car?

Many modern automated car washes use non-abrasive cloth to clean your car, which shouldn’t cause any damage. However, you may still come across those that use brushes which can potentially damage the paint by leaving small scratch marks. It’s best to avoid this kind of automatic car wash.

What are the different types of car washes?

In Australia, you can find a few different types of car wash service offerings. We explain the difference between each type of car wash in detail:

In-bay automatic car washes
Self-service bays
Conveyor tunnel washes
Manual car wash and detailing services
Mobile car wash and detailing services
