Is automatic car washing harmful to car paint?

Many gas stations have free car wash service. After filling a certain amount, you can wash your car in the automatic car washer at the gas station. I also often wash my car in the automatic car washer at the gas station. I don't think all cars are suitable for washing here. Today, I will share my experience with you. Just touch the car wash.

1, not good for car paint. When washing the car around 20 13, the brushes of many automatic car washers are still very fine bristles, and now almost all of them are replaced with sponge strips as shown in the above picture. It is said that fine hair is easy to get stuck in the gap of the car and cause damage.

This sponge strip is actually very soft. I once felt it out of curiosity. It feels like eva material, which is the material of sports shoe insole. Although this thing is soft, as long as it is soft, it can not only wash the car, because the surface of the sponge strip is flat and smooth, and the surface of the car paint is also flat and smooth. If there is sand on the surface of the car paint when brushing, you can only scrape it with a sponge strip. Because there is no sand on the surface of the sponge strip. The surface of the towel is fluffy, even if there are particles on the scrubbed surface, it is easily absorbed by the towel, reducing the damage. So I think this thing will affect the paint more or less.

If you love your car, wash it once every three days and wax it, then I suggest you not to go.

2. Vehicles with certain risks do not need to shift gears by themselves when passing through the car washing machine, but are dragged forward by the conveyor belt on the ground. The conveyor belt is usually only on the left. Before washing the car, you need to aim at the wheels and drive to the conveyor belt. This step is not too difficult, because there are staff to help you command.

But after you start washing the car, you can't even move the steering wheel, let alone brake. At this time, because the left wheel is stuck on the conveyor belt at rest, it follows the conveyor belt. While the right wheel still rolls normally on the ground. If you turn the direction, the right wheel will turn and the left wheel will be forced to move laterally. The wheels and steering system will bear a great load, which will cause the steering wheel to shift or the left wheel to leave the conveyor belt and collide.

If you step on the brake, the resistance of the right wheel will increase, and the left wheel will still follow the conveyor belt, so the suspension system and steering system will bear a great load. If the brakes are pressed too hard and the right front wheel locks, the conveyor belt may push your car aside and collide.

If you can understand the above, it is basically safe for you to go to the automatic car washer to wash your car. If you don't understand, you must study it clearly before driving.

3. The picture of the vehicle model is a self-service car wash shop with the slogan "Don't wash Pentium b50". It is said that the car will probably wash your bumper as soon as it enters.

Because there are several groups of mechanical arms in the car washing machine to control the brushes to move back and forth, the width, height and shape of different models are different, so manufacturers will naturally consider these problems and make corresponding settings to ensure the safety of each car. But if someone doesn't think about it or something goes wrong, it's dangerous. In particular, some car owners like to modify various personalized appearance accessories, and we should pay more attention to these issues.

At present, according to my experience, most cars should be fine. Wash the car every time you go to refuel. So far, I haven't seen any bumps. Besides, my car is equipped with pedals and luggage racks, which will make no difference. As for the car paint, I don't care much, because there are some scratches on the car body, and I can't stand it, so I will pick them up together.
