At Speedwash, we’re committed to pampering your car with top-quality care. Keeping it simple, clean, and fast we tackle the dirt and weather challenges. Have questions? Here are answers to most of them \u2013 your hassle-free car wash destination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
There are different factors that determine how often you should wash your car. If road conditions are making your car dirty on a regular basis, you may need to wash more often. Generally, a wash at least every second week is a good guideline to follow. But dirt, debris, bugs, salt, calcium chloride and more can damage your car with chips, scratches, and rust. So, to protect your investment and keep your paint from dulling, it\u2019s important to keep your car clean.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
We believe in the power of gentle touch for a thorough clean. Just like handwashing and brushing teeth are essential for personal hygiene, our car wash embraces the same principle. Instead of relying on touchless methods, which often fall short even with high-pressure jets and strong chemicals, we opt for a more effective approach.<\/p>
Our washing process utilizes ultra-soft closed cell foam and delicate cloth materials, rather than abrasive brushes. This ensures a comprehensive clean without the risk of scratching or damaging your car's clear coat finish. Moreover, we are committed to environmental responsibility, using only 100% safe, biodegradable shampoos.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
It depends. If we can\u2019t see the paint on your car, we\u2019re not able to wash it. That\u2019s because after the wash, if you notice a dent or scratch, you may blame the car wash. If your car is that dirty, we recommend that you rinse it off before bringing it to us, just to be on the safe side and we cannot guarantee 100% clean.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
We can\u2019t wash dually trucks or trucks with fuel tanks, loose items, or debris in the flatbed. Our wash tunnel measures 7\u20194,\u201d lifted vehicles above this clearance height will not fit through our wash. Any vehicle with a luggage rack, ladder rack, bike rack, greasy fifth wheel, or aftermarket parts that are not deemed safe cannot be washed.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
No, an automatic car wash is not detrimental to alloy wheels, our wash doesn\u2019t use certain tire brushes that can scratch them, or acids that can cause stains. Just to be on the safe side, ask in advance about your alloy wheels.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
When you wash your vehicle with windshield damage, cracks, or chips it may expand due to temperature change. It\u2019s always best to repair or replace a damaged windshield immediately.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Different cars have different types of antennas, so it depends on your vehicle. Many new vehicles don\u2019t have an external antenna. There are older vehicles that do have an external antenna; the flexible kind can handle an automatic wash, but a hollow, telescoping antenna needs to be lowered or risk damage in the wash.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Once again, it depends. If you have an after-market product like a bug shield on your car, it is most likely fine to handle an automatic car wash. But that isn\u2019t a guarantee. Some after-market accessories could still suffer damage, especially if they are already cracked or chipped. Other products like a trailer hitch can certainly withstand the wash but might get in the way of washing equipment and impact how clean the vehicle gets. Anything that\u2019s loose may get damaged or fall off in a wash.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
It\u2019s simple. If you don\u2019t hand dry your car, there is residue left behind. Even the water you leave when you air-dry your car contains minerals that don\u2019t completely evaporate. That liquid residue becomes streaks, spots and deposits that you won\u2019t appreciate looking at. One glance at a dark-coloured car in the sunlight will show the imperfections left behind when you air-dry your vehicles. In the winter it\u2019s even worse, as the water will freeze in door jambs and windows. All of our customers can use our drying towels after their wash.<\/p><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
