Car wash: Why is manual washing the best?

Perhaps no driver wants to have a car polluted by bird droppings in the summer and to have road salt deposits on the chassis in the winter. Dried dirt on the body and chassis of the car is bad not only from an aesthetic point of view, but also with regard to its lifespan. Washing the car can also serve as corrosion prevention and should be part of normal, regular maintenance, similar to adding water to the washers or checking the tire pressure. Do you prefer manual vehicle washing or washing in a car wash? Here at TASY, we appreciate hand washing, which has indisputable advantages.

Car wash: Why is manual washing the best?

Car wash: Which interval to choose? 

There is no universal answer to this. A driver who drives hundreds of kilometers a month will have his car dirty faster than a holiday driver who uses the car only occasionally, such as for shopping. A garaged car will not require as frequent washing as a car parked in a housing estate or somewhere in the garden under a tree. 

So while one car may need washing twice a month, another will need a wash once a quarter. Keep your sharp eye in this direction. As soon as more dust, sand or bird droppings appear on the car, it is the highest time to wash the car. Every cleaning should ideally include washing the body, chassis, tires and washing the interior of the car.

Hand wash vs. car wash. What are their advantages and disadvantages? 

Manual car wash  

Advantages

  • More detailed cleaning. Hand washing allows for more thorough and precise cleaning. You can target specific areas that may be overlooked in the car wash, such as gaps, edges or the underside of the car.
  • Less aggressive for paint. With the correct use of mild detergents, hand washing is gentler on the car's paintwork and there is no risk of scratching.
  • Quality control. You have full control over the materials and processes used, so you can ensure that your car is washed exactly to your liking. 

Disadvantages

  • Time consumption. Hand washing can be a bit more time-consuming than washing vehicles at a car wash, especially if you are aiming for a detailed and comprehensive cleaning.
  • Physical activity. Manual car washing requires physical effort, which may not suit everyone.

Car wash 

Advantages

  • Speed ​​and convenience.  Washing in the car wash is quick and convenient. You can usually choose from different types of washes, including basic washes, waxing, undercarriage cleaning, and more. You can drive away with a clean car in a few minutes. All you have to do is arrive, have the car machine washed and drive away. 

Disadvantages

  • Risk of scratching. Brushes can cause small scratches on the paint, especially in some older car washes. 
  • Less detailed cleaning. Car washes may not clean all corners and hard-to-reach places as well as manual washing.
  • Higher costs. In the long run, regular visits to the car wash can be quite a bit more expensive than hand washing.
