Fully automatic car washing and manual car washing are like toothbrushes and dental floss, with different operation methods and effects. Which car washing method should we use in our daily car washing?

    Advantages and disadvantages of fully automatic car washing

    Fully automatic car washing is not a new thing nowadays, and many professional car wash shops are using this car washing method. The car washing process is to first drive the car to the conveyor belt, and the car will move forward along with the conveyor belt and start washing, foam, car cleaning, drying and other processes in turn.

advantage:

(1) Safe and reliable

The process of fully automatic car washing is carried out according to the designed program, and the entire process is operated by machines, which can avoid injuries caused by improper manual operation. Therefore, the consistency of computer car washing is also relatively good, and the washing effect of each car will not differ greatly.

(2) Efficient and fast

Fully automatic car washing usually takes about 5 minutes to complete, which is a good choice for car owners who have urgent needs when going out for appointments. Even some car washing machines allow car owners to wash and leave without getting off the car.

(3) High end image

The fully automatic car washing device is quite large and looks very advanced, giving car owners a high-end feeling, which is conducive to attracting customers.

(4) Save water

Fully automatic car washing machineWashing a car consumes 10-12 liters of water, while manual washing consumes approximately 20-30 liters per car. If we calculate based on a car wash shop washing 100 cars per day, we can save 1-2 tons of water per day and 300-700 tons of water per year. Moreover, the fully automatic car washing machine can also use recycled wastewater treatment technology, which not only meets environmental protection requirements, but also can save a lot of water resources.

Disadvantages:

(1) May damage the car paint

Due to the low frequency of cleaning and replacing brushes in fully automatic car wash shops, some brushes carry a lot of small debris such as sand and gravel, which can cause damage to the car paint when the brushes roll and clean.

(2) Incomplete cleaning

Due to the fixed car washing procedure and the fact that the car only travels once on the conveyor belt, dirty areas on the body cannot be cleaned repeatedly. And there are many gaps, corners, and edges on the car that cannot be cleaned.

Advantages and disadvantages of manual car washing

Manual car washing is the most traditional method, which car owners must have seen before. The entire process consists of high-pressure spray gun flushing, manual foaming, spray gun cleaning, and manual drying.

advantage:

(1) Clean delicately

Manual car washing and cleaning are relatively delicate, such as cleaning the edges and corners of the rearview mirror, door seams, etc.

(2) Cheap price

If manual car washing is not precision washing and only cleans the exterior of the car, then the price is cheaper than computer car washing.

Disadvantages:

(1) The car washing effect cannot be guaranteed

The effectiveness of manual car washing depends on luck, as it is limited by the skills of the construction personnel. Skilled technicians can wash your car like a new car, while those with poor skills may find that many corners are not cleaned thoroughly.

(2) Long duration

The car washing time is relatively long, which is 3 to 4 times slower than fully automatic car washing. During peak hours, it is often necessary to queue up for car washing, which is very troublesome.

Car cleaning

The above two car washing methods are mainly used to clean the body of the car, while car fine washing not only includes the service content of ordinary car washing, but also cleans places that cannot be cleaned by ordinary car washing, such as the engine compartment, seals, trunk, and so on.

This car washing method is currently the most effective and provides the best protection for the car's paint and interior. However, the obvious disadvantage is that it takes too long and is expensive, generally ranging from 100-200 yuan per wash.

Car wash advice

These three car washing methods are suitable for different driving situations. If you are going out for an appointment and want your car to look cleaner and need to use it immediately, fully automatic car washing is the most suitable; If you find your car dirty on a rest day, you can choose to wash it manually and wait for about 20 minutes to make the car cleaner; If you haven't washed your car for a long time and find that the interior, engine compartment, throttle, and other areas are very dirty, it is necessary to spend more money on a thorough cleaning.
