💨 Abstract

Over 11 million UK motorists are damaging their cars by using incorrect washing methods, potentially costing them thousands of pounds in repairs. A survey by Auto Express revealed that many drivers rely on automatic car washes, which can cause paintwork damage due to dirty brushes and missed details. Auto Express' Consumer Editor, Tom Jervis, advises avoiding automatic washes, roadside hand washes, and communal jet wash brushes.
