Avoid the Line After the Snow: Automatic Car Wash Dangers
Where To Take Your Vehicle After the SnowAfter it snows, we often see many cars waiting in line for the inexpensive automatic car wash. Bringing your vehicle to one of these locations is tempting, given the ease of the drive-thru for only a few dollars. However, it should be noted that many of these establishments often present dangers to your car's paint. Instead, why not schedule a paint-safe hand wash and dry from Capitol Shine? You can schedule online in advance (click here), bring your vehicle in and avoid the line.What's Wrong with an Automatic Car Wash?For starters, drive-thru car washes can leave scratches and swirls in your paint. We have had countless vehicles roll through our many locations with damaged paint as a result of the brushes at these automatic car washes. These brushes used to scrub your vehicle are not always cleaned - especially when there is no break in the traffic waiting for a wash. After a snow storm, all of these cars have salt, dirt and ice accumulated over the car, and the brushes can hang onto that which can scratch your paint.
In addition, the drive-thru areas are designed to accommodate all sizes of cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. As a result, the brushes may "scrape" harder for a car than an SUV, given the size difference.How About a Capitol Shine Hand Wash?You've invested a lot of money in your vehicle, so why not INVEST when it comes to maintaining your ride?
