The Hidden Cost of Brush Car Washes: Scratches, Swirls, and Harsh Chemicals

Written By Andrew Barentine

Let’s be real: brush car washes seem convenient. Drive in, drive out, right?

Let me tell you something from experience: Brush car washes might save you time, but they cost you in the long run. Those spinning brushes? They don’t care what kind of paint your car has. It traps dirt and then they drag it across your paint, leaving behind tiny scratches and swirl marks that dull your car over time. They also use extreme levels of PH to clean the spots that the brushes might miss. I use soft, safe materials, careful techniques, and attention to detail that your car deserves that way it’s not just cleaner — it’s cared for.
