Car washing: choosing a car wash and simple "no scratches" rules. Schedule a service at SpotMeUp.
It is not the water itself that causes the most micro-scratches, but the dirt dragged on the paint. An automatic car wash can be convenient, but with frequent use and weak brushes, it is easy to get spiderwebs. Hand washing can be more gentle if done correctly.
The key is pre-rinsing, good chemicals and clean accessories. If the car is very neglected, it is better to start with professional cleaning and only then maintain the effect with regular washing.
In SpotMeUp, select Automotive → Car washing / Auto detailing and decide whether you want a quick wash or a service with thorough cleaning and protection.
