How to clean a car?

    Jak czyścić auto?

    People today care very much about time. It is even said that time is money. Perhaps that is why there are many places where we can do something quickly. Therefore, we have fast food where we can eat quickly. We have online home delivery stores where we can shop quickly. We also have touchless car washes where we can wash the car quickly. However, in all of these cases, fast is not good at all. Or as well as you could do a specific thing slower. So many things are lost in quality at the cost of time. This is due to the fact that people today have more things to do, so there is not enough time for all responsibilities. So two questions arise. Is it good that people have less and less time and have to use not necessarily good solutions to gain a moment of time?And whether such rash action does not harm us, and as in the case of a car wash, does not harm our cars. And it is on car washes and cars that I would like to focus on.

    It has been known for a long time that the longer the car will be operational, the better we take care of it. Both from the technical side and from the outside. You might wonder if such car washes really clean our car well, if they do not damage the paintwork, if washing the car only in such a car wash is harmful to it, if we are really able to wash our car well within five minutes, or if we spend on more time in such a car wash, the car washing effect will be better, is it time dependent, will touchless car washes jump over a certain dirt barrier, no matter how much time we spend on them, and how thoroughly we will try to clean our car? There is also a question whether the waxes offered there, designed to protect the paintwork in our cars,they actually protect it and that they are not harmful to the car.

    Contactless car washes can be divided into two types: non-contact brush car washes and non-contact self-service car washes. The former, when used frequently, can damage the paintwork in our car, cause scratches and tarnishing of the paintwork, therefore a better solution is to use self-service car washes. They do not damage the varnish, but the quality of washing on them is lower than washing by hand. However, washing by hand takes more time, no matter if we do it ourselves or leave the car to a car wash. If we want to have a well-cleaned car, thoroughly washed even the smallest elements, we must decide on a longer hand wash. Of course, a self-service car wash is a good solution if you have a very muddy car and you want to wash it of the biggest mud first. Only deal with the details later. It is important to,to take care of the car systematically, because dried insects on the hood of our car are not even visible from a distance, but they can be so stuck to the hood of the car that even later washing may not allow us to completely get rid of them. Therefore, it seems that self-service touchless car washes are a good solution if we care about time, or if we have a very dirty car, and we plan a decent washing soon. Of course, a lot also depends on the quality of the car washes and the detergents used in them, because they can mean that after the services of two different car washes we can achieve a completely different effect. The procedure of waxing the varnish is also interesting. The manufacturer writes that it should be used only for clean varnish, but after car wash services, the varnish is not always completely clean,then such a wax can protect the dirt that remains on it, which is not good for our car. Also, depending on the car wash, the wax varies in quality. Of course, by turning on this program on the car wash, you can smell the wax, but as I have already written, touchless car washes do not offer us a perfectly cleaned varnish, so it may turn out that we are not waxing the varnish, but the dried dirt on it.

    Therefore, it is worth using the services offered by self-service touchless car washes, but you should do it with common sense, remembering that it will not replace accuracy, manual car wash or washing the car yourself. In addition, car washes sometimes leave streaks on the windows and paint, which makes it worth wiping the car dry after washing. This will improve the washing effect. Therefore, if we can wash the car by hand, it is always better for our car if we use this option. However, if we are forced to use the services offered by touchless car washes, it is better to choose the self-service ones. It will be safer for the paintwork in our car and we will be able to focus on the dirtiest elements while washing our car, which a brush wash will not provide.It can also be a good idea to combine both manual and touchless car wash, this compromise will help us clean the elements that touchless car washes cannot cope with, or clean them inaccurately. The most important thing in all this, however, is regularity.
