I have always you the brush (I always spray it off with the rinse on the wand) I love it never have an problem with it I know our car wash the person on duty sprays it off daily
I understand not wanting to use the brush because it may lead to scratches but if you rush through a wash like this without ever doing a contact wash and then dry it with microfiber towels in the end you are likely to get scratches. You are not going to get the vehicle fully clean this way and when you run the towels across your paint all those things you missed will be dragging on your paint as well. Either do a full touch less meaning drying that way as well or give it a contact wash to remove all contaminants. If you do full touch less understand it probably won’t be 100% clean but at least you won’t have caused any scratches.
Honestly I use the brush all the time no scratches or anything as mi g as your wash the brush with the pressure washer before use. But every place is different. Love the Videos
So I had a 2007 black honda civic with a faded, bad paint job and just a bunch of other problems, & RARELY washed it. Now I have a 2016 white honda civic and I know I need to take care of it like you car gurus 😅 So I went to the car wash today and I thought I did a pretty decent job with it being my first time... wrong! I rinsed, used the FOAM BRUSH, then rinse again. Banged the cable thing against my car a few times. Then Dried my car with 2 microfiber towels and other random drying towels I saw laying around in my house 😅 But I did my door jams, so I’m proud of that. I do have a question about the foaming part. I see it on IG and other youtube videos. What does it do exactly and when should I do it if I want to try it at the coin carwash. Anyways, this is the best video I found on youtube that thoroughly tells me how to use the equipment. The other ones are more like vlogs and just show you. So thank you!!
Please don't use the brush it hurts the paint even if you clean it it will still scratch your car look at it like this if you use a scouring pad that's rough on your body what what does it feel like so that's what it feels like on a car when using the brushAbrasive brushes can scratch your car's paint While most newer car washes have swapped out those old abrasive brushes for softer ones, the slapping against the side of your car can still cause trouble: The brushes are covered with grit from all the cars before yours
I dont get it you wont spray the car directly but you will towel dry the car w out clay baring it? Unless u just cleaned an already clean car.. foam brush u can spray the brush w high pressure before u use on car.
I wouldn't recommend drying the car after a touch less wash. All the little dust particles you can't get off with a touch less wash will put swirls in your paint. What I do is just spray the whole vehicle with the spotless wash feature.
$3 for 4 minutes is a rip-off for a manual bay. All of our local car washes give you 3 minutes for $1, with the ones that have card readers charging you based on the time you use the wash bay for, most likely at the same ratio of $1 per 3 minutes.
OOF I use the brush all the time and I never see scratches on my paint, guess my local selve serve carwash maintains it good! Besides I like seeing the pink avalanche
You can use the brush but before you use it rinse it with the high pressure water then all the dirt and whatever else is in it will be gone. While doing it keep the brush in the air do not let it touch the ground or put it back in the tray if it was in one. This will give you a clean brush to work with.
I don't agree with this, I did what you did before you even wrote this comment. And I'm gonna tell all you is gonna scratch the car in a swirl manner Don't do it :((
I just bought my first new car after driving used ones with paint jobs not worth worrying about. But now I'm watching videos like this so I'm glad I learned about not using that big brush thing. Two questions. How is it that a regular towel would scratch paint which I assume is harder than fiber? And, do you ever use afterwash spray or are those a waste of money?
i was so confused on while he was bragging about no maintance on a car that has 15k miles and then he said it was a bmw. i was like ahh makes sense lol
This is a self serve car wash not a touchless wash. A spray gun will never get your car absolute clean you need to either use the brush that you clean prior to using or bucket wash.
Honestly I used it and it was soft and didn’t scratch so I don’t see why these professionals are so against it, not everyone drives an exotic car and care that hard
Undercarriage will be tough with the spray gun but if you can reach underneath and spray it down that would be ideal. Many of the touch-less self washes also have a touch-less automatic wash that will spray the undercarriage. You can always hook up a undercarriage washer to your home garden hose or pressure washer to address that as well. Mirrors should be addressed same was as rest of vehicle!
pre-soak is a waste of money, its low pressure and does not do anything, your better off using the high pressure soap to start to be honest. If you are wanting to use the animal hair brush, just spray it out first, its no different then using a mit at home that you clean off and reuse. Some people just dont make sure its clean before they use it and could still have sand and other debris in it.
M C that’s the whole point of the brush if it was clean haha. Not sure how often they get switched out but they’ll have dirt and any other rough things in between the bristles from the car before you = miro scratches
Ansel Ordonez You only clay bar if your paint isn’t sleek to the touch like glass. If it’s not, it has contaminants which need to be clay barred. New cars shouldn’t need clay barred for atleast six months.
I do that sometimes, I drive Lyft in Colorado so the mud and salt from the snow cakes on pretty good, using these is satisfying though wish they had driers, not all of us have fancy microfiber cloths
Careful with that credit card my dude, have seen lots of people get their money stolen from showing just a tiny bit of their card. If you can somehow edit the video and blur that part that would probably be a good idea, 1.4k people have seen this and hopefully nobody already did this to you. Just a tip man. Also thanks for the help always hated using those things haha.
use a drying aid and don't park your clean car under a tree because you just asking for scratches. if your wondering, yes I'm a detailer. check out my insta @wine_shine_detailing
unless you clay bar and get every single speck of dirt off the car (which the touchless wash doesn't even come close) then when you dry the car, you are going to scratch the vehicle. You might not have huge thick scratches, no, but I'd beat money that if you look close you'll find micro scratches and I beat your rag is filthy when you get done. All that dirt on your rag just shredded your car. I'd rather have a few water spots than damaged paint, no thank you. If it's distilled water, then your not gonna get spots anyways. If you're not sure, let the car dry on its own one day and you'll know if they lied or not. You might be wasting time and effort and scratching your car even drying the thing.
But even after you do clean it say you walk outside the next day to find someone using a leaf blower and got your car all dusty, don’t hurt to do a quick was like this. You don’t have to do a deep clean every time
This guys stupid does he not know that a “touch less” car wash isn’t gonna get everything off most of the time you have to at least do something and as long as the brush is clean soft and your going in straight lines it won’t do any type of damage to the car same with a microfiber cloth
Actually starts @4:44
Thank you man
4 is my favorite number 🤣
Silly me thinking the whole video would be about a car wash instead of an M3
I almost clicked off the video after much to do about nothing. Then i seen this comment. Thank goodness!

Pre soak
Soap
Soft water rinse
Spot free rinse
Your welcome
Great tips, thank you.
Rule#1- don't use the foam brush
100%... stay away from that thing!
Wait thats a brush? I always thought that was a stick with sandpaper on it!
Or Just spray it clean en you can use it
I just hit it with the water shooter and blow the 9 grit sand paper to about a 5000 grit
@@kevindewilde7970 the brush is still gonna scratch tho
I have always you the brush (I always spray it off with the rinse on the wand) I love it never have an problem with it I know our car wash the person on duty sprays it off daily
It does not matter if you spray it off it’s too rough it scratches your paint
very informative! thanks man
Just bought a 2024 Nissan Z Nismo and am going to try the touchless for first time. I dont want to damage my new car!! Thanks for the tips!!
are the waxes at the self serve car washes, safe for exterior trim? (the ones with the pressure guns)
Super helpful, subscribed!
Thanks for cheat codes 101. (Car wash)..kudos.
What brand of towels do you use? The ones I use arent efficient when it comes to drying
That yellow one looks like the chemical guy premium micro fiber towel
Paint looking beautiful. Do you wax your it too?
Nice
Does the high pressure soap strip any wax or protectant on the paint prior to washing?
Awsome
I have seen several car washes with wax, but have not seen one video on how to use the wax feature

best video .. i understand the functions..
after washing, is it bad to air dry the car on the freeway? then finish it off with microfiber towels after driving a couple of miles..
I’ve tried this but I just got a whole bunch of water spots
Definitely will get water spots, and don't roll your windows down or you'll get a ton of water on them lol

Yeah the e92 is probably the best m3 ever aside from the e46
The fact you are washing a M3 E92 deserves so much views 😭
damn i used tf out of that brush 🤣🤣
My problem is that no matter what I do, I always get water spots all over the car.
Try rinsing with the distilled water at the end and drying with microfiber towels!
After you dry the car use a spray shine it will help and make the cars paint pop
Nice Ohio license plate! 😁
OOF I use the brush all the time and I never see scratches on my paint, guess my local selve serve carwash maintains it good! Besides I like seeing the pink avalanche

Never use the brush on paint that you care about.

Hi, 👋 I love your car!
What is presoak
It is not distilled water! It’s RO water.
Why not just wash foam brush before using it?
i was so confused on while he was bragging about no maintance on a car that has 15k miles and then he said it was a bmw. i was like ahh makes sense lol
why not just wash off the foam brush before using it
your car would look so much cleaner without your social media handles slapped all over your windows.
10:58 End of cycle! Shutting down
Good stuff! Subbed too.
12:16 You said $3 bucks for 9 minutes? You meant $6 for 9 minutes. I backed up and saw the sign.
This is a self serve car wash not a touchless wash. A spray gun will never get your car absolute clean you need to either use the brush that you clean prior to using or bucket wash.
Just bring a wash mit or something so you don't have to use the brush

Should you use it on your outside mirrors? How do you clean the undercarriage?
Undercarriage will be tough with the spray gun but if you can reach underneath and spray it down that would be ideal. Many of the touch-less self washes also have a touch-less automatic wash that will spray the undercarriage. You can always hook up a undercarriage washer to your home garden hose or pressure washer to address that as well. Mirrors should be addressed same was as rest of vehicle!

4:53 can people steal that credit card info?? or no?
Absolutely yes :) Looks like I'm not the first one to notice. But since that card is already expired...
Use the foam brush if you don't give a rats a**. Or waste 5 minutes cleaning it with the pressure washer. lol

Brushes are not bad as you think, with out brushing you did not clean your car
M C that’s the whole point of the brush if it was clean haha. Not sure how often they get switched out but they’ll have dirt and any other rough things in between the bristles from the car before you = miro scratches
actually your car isn't clean unless you clay bar it
Ansel Ordonez You only clay bar if your paint isn’t sleek to the touch like glass. If it’s not, it has contaminants which need to be clay barred. New cars shouldn’t need clay barred for atleast six months.
Um you do realize you can wash the brush out before you use it to get rid of any dirt in it.
9 minutes wash??!!
This video...
do you like self serve car washes?
The brush. Think of it as using someone else's toothbrush that has ran through a thousand other mouths. Would you use it?

Not drying then dusty in no time though 1000x cleaner. Still good alternative. No hose in my apt parking

Using the brush beats the whole point of manually washing your car.
You never ever ever house that brush because all the bristles on that brush really will only scratch your paint.

Touchless car wash is more agressive than normal wash. It ussualy uses acides and spot free water, Wich make the car rust faster.
The amount of crystal meth consumption required to make such a statement...

Dude it's an automatic lol
Everyone knows modern automatics leave modern manuals in the dust lol
Yeah ... no. Nice try. Your car is hideous, by the way. It's an obnoxious affront to BMW.
