Soft Cloth or Touchless Car Wash? Which is Best for Your Car?

It’s a question we hear a lot at Grand Wash Auto, and for good reason – both methods have their pros and cons.

Since the pandemic, touchless car washes in Melbourne have surged in popularity. To help you decide which approach is best for your vehicle, let’s break down the differences.

Touchless Car Wash

Touchless car washes have revolutionised the industry. Using high-powered jets of pressurised water combined with specialised cleaning agents, dirt and grime are efficiently removed – all without anything physically touching the car. This reduces the risk of scratches or damage, and the entire process can take as little as three minutes.

Pros:

• No direct contact with the vehicle, reducing the risk of damage
• Quick and efficient

Cons:

• May not remove all organic and inorganic compounds
• Hard-to-reach areas, such as crevices, may not be thoroughly cleaned

If you’re searching for a “touchless car wash near me” but aren’t sure if it’s the right choice for your car, feel free to contact us. We’re always happy to offer advice.

Soft Cloth Car Wash

Soft cloth car washes use foam or felt materials to apply gentle friction, effectively removing grit and grime. This method has been around for decades and is particularly good at removing stubborn organic matter, such as bugs and bird droppings.

Pros:

• Thorough cleaning, especially for organic debris
• Gentle on the car’s surface

Cons:

• Potential damage to loose parts
• Car shine may dull over time
• Large vehicles or those with oversized features may not fit

 The Best of Both Worlds

What if we told you that at Grand Wash Auto, we’ve found a way to combine the benefits of both touchless and soft cloth car washes?

Our innovative approach uses neoprene microfilm material instead of abrasive cloths or bristle brushes. This means your car gets a gentle yet thorough clean, without the risk of scratches. The neoprene material also adds a bit of buff and shine to your car, ensuring it looks its best after every wash.

Plus, the design of our system ensures that dirt isn’t retained in the wash strips, further reducing the risk of any damage.
