Is there really any difference between hand washing and waxing as opposed to Automatic Car Washes?
Yes. You may already be aware of the obvious damage that is associated with “drive-through” tunnels (i.e. antennas, wipers etc.), but you should also be aware that some Automatic Car Washes can actually drive dirt deeper into your car’s finish by using cloths and brushes that are dirty and water that is too hot. Also, some of those high pressure sprays can even strip the wax that is on your car.
