    I'm sorry, anyone who's ever used a car wash knows the machine doesn't come close to cleaning better than the human hand. In fact, it's cheaper to get your car washed by a team of professionals than it is to go through the machine AND they do a much better job.

    Those giant spinning rubber brushes scratch and ruin your car's finish by dragging the dirt and grit scraping it across the paint. Wash it by hand or go to a touchless car wash instead.

    To everybody saying they much rather wash it themselves. Are you gonna do it In 10 degree weather? Are you gonna do it after a snow to get rid of all the roadsalt? If not then I am gonna continue making a profit in my sonnys tunnel

    I've worked at a few washes and have been in the industry for a while. I can testify that washing the car by hand at home is actually the worst thing for your car. The microfiber towels with the pressure the average person applies causes more scratches than any automatic brush which applies no more than 15 Lbs of pressure. Not to mention automatic washes use about 5-15 gallons of water per car and recycle their water whereas home washing uses anywhere between 55-105 gallons that wind up in the storm drain. In addition, most auto care manuals included with vehicles strongly discourage hand washing and touch free washes because of the damage.

    Proud to work at one. Love learning how to do maintenance and the engineering aspect of them

    Good video, but I felt it was only half the story. What about how the mechanisms work as a car goes through the car wash?

    I was rear ended in a 1 car at a time car wash somehow today, so it's nice to know that the conveyor belts are only 1 direction.
