Hand Car Wash vs. Touchless Car Wash

Hand Wash vs. Touchless Wash

 

If you want your car to look its best on the roads of Buffalo and Cheektowaga, a simple car wash can make a huge difference. If the exterior of your vehicle is in need of a little TLC, you may be wondering whether to have your car washed by hand or choose the convenience of a hands-free car wash. Joe Basil Chevrolet compares the pros and cons of a hand wash car wash vs. touchless car wash to help you decide which is right for your vehicle.

Hand Wash Car Wash

A hand car wash is often the best bet if your vehicle is in need of a more thorough cleaning. A touchless car wash may not be able to remove all of the dirt and debris that has accumulated over time.

Hand Car Wash Pros

  • A hand wash car wash is more thorough – Choose a hand car wash to get into the small crevices that may be missed by a hands-free car wash. Places like the undercarriage are more easily accessible with this method as well.
  • Save money by washing your car at home – Washing your car at home is quite affordable, and you may have many of the supplies you need already on hand.

Hand Car Wash Cons

  • Specialty facilities are more costly – If you have your vehicle washed by a professional, the costs can add up quickly.
  • Frequent car washes could damage paint – It is possible that performing a hand car wash too often could damage the exterior paint.

Touchless Car Wash

An automated hands-free car wash will likely be more affordable than bringing your car in for a hand wash. There are also other perks, – and a few disadvantages – too.

Hands-Free Car Wash Pros

  • A touchless car wash is quick and convenient – Automated car washes are designed for speed and efficiency.
  • They are more gentle on paint – Touchless car washes are gentle on cars. You can worry less about damage or scratches to your exterior paint.
  • You won’t have to spend a fortune – Because manual labor is not required for a touchless car wash, they are generally very affordable.

Hands-Free Car Wash Cons

  • Dirt and debris may be missed – Automatic car washes are made to be gentle on car paint, so they may not always be able to get all of that stuck-on grime.
  • You may be stuck with water spots – Air dryers often do not thoroughly dry the car, leaving you with water spots.
