Is it safe to use commercial DIY car wash stations? Will it damage the coating?
Using car wash stations is not ideal because some of them do not filter their water properly and there is therefore a risk of abrasive dirt in the water itself. Also the brushes (whether DIY or automatic wash stations) do cause scratches in the clear coat. If you must use an automatic car wash, use a brushless one. Any damage to the clearcoat can be repaired using Infinity Spider Web Remover and Glare Infinity Plus. It is therefore recommended to apply Glare Infinity Plus if you use a commercial car wash as this will restore the clear coat. Just one more note: to wash your car at home is cheaper and doesn’t take long. There is no queue of people waiting behind you to finish, and if you have small kids, they love to “help” wash the car.
