More than just the reason that one can save more money by cleaning his car, he can also save his car from more damages by doing so.

The automated car washes we usually find at forecourts and gas stations are not designed to clean cars effectively and safely in any way. These car washes are designed to allow as many vehicles as possible to pass through it in the shortest possible time so that the owner will gain more profit. Thus, what happens when your car enters the automated washer is that the large rollers spinning at high speed will just rub all the grit and dirt particles all over your car since these automated car washes have no pre-wash or pre-rinse stage to remove loose dirt before the car enters. Also, since these automated car washes wash a large number of dirty cars in a day, the large rollers have already picked up some on the contaminants and grit from the other vehicles that underwent the same process that it can transfer and rub all over your car’s surface.

In addition to this, the dirty, spinning rollers can also be harsh to your car, inflicting light scratches and some swirl marks on its surface.
