Hand Car Wash vs. Touchless Car Wash

Hand Wash Car Wash

Is your Cadillac in need of a deep clean? A hand car wash might be your best bet. You can perform this type of car wash at home, or find an available service at a dealership.

Let's take a look at the pros of hand car washes:

• Get a Thorough Clean: You can expect a more thorough clean this way, as hand washing your car allows you to get into every nook and cranny. You can also access places like the undercarriage with more ease.
• Save Money: Additionally, you can perform this option at home, which will save you money!

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to each option. Here are some reasons certain Roslyn drivers may choose to skip hand car washes:

• You May Pay More for Professional Services: Hand wash car washes often cost a bit more than touchless car washes when you opt to go to a professional.
• Potential Paint Damage: As long as you don't wash your car too frequently, this is easily avoidable. But if you over-do things, you may damage your paint!

Touchless Car Wash

When you opt for a touchless car wash (or a hands-free car wash), you're probably going to get the typical service that comes to mind when you think about car washes. You'll wait your turn to drive your vehicle through an automated wash (which is often much cheaper!). Here are the pros of touchless car washes:

• Added Convenience: Automated Car washes are quick and easy! So long as you don't go to a war wash in a populated area during busy hours, you should be in and out in just a few minutes.
• Less Risk of Paint Damage: Hands-free car washes are actually quite gentle on cars, so you can avoid any damage via accidental scratching.
• Cheaper Professional Services: While you can go all out for a luxury touchless car wash, there are plenty of affordable options that are just a few dollars!

Not sure if a touchless car wash is for you? Here are potential drawbacks to consider:

• Results May Not Be as Dramatic: Automatic car washes are more gentle on paint (and don't involve an individualized wash), so they may miss tough debris in hard-to-reach areas.
• Your Vehicle May Get Water Spots: While there are usually air dryers at the end of an automated car wash, your vehicle could get water spots if you don't have someone wipe it down, or do so yourself at home.
