Few motorists know what kind of car wash is suitable for a particular vehicle, degree of contamination and other circumstances. Much of this is due to a lack of time-the decision is usually taken in favor of the closest wash-and this choice is not always the best. How can we wash the car?

How can we wash the car?

So there are three main types of car wash-contactless, manual and portal. The first two are most common in our country, the third is rare, and most motorists know about it only from American and European films.

In Russia, hand-washing in Russia is found on every street, but in Europe, "manual labor" has long been forgotten

The most traditional wash is manual. Good old buckets, sponges, hose and cleaning products. Interestinely, in Russia, such jersey are found literally on every street, but in Europe, "manual labor" has long been forgotten. Because of the simplicity of the process and the high competition, this type of mine is the cheapest. Special equipment is not needed, and employees do not require special skills, and therefore there is a fairly stable negative opinion on this form of automobiles among motorists.


The second is a contactless mot, usually preferred by the owners of more expensive cars. Such lounges have special equipment and the vehicle wash is under high pressure. The body shall be sprayed with detergent components using the spray nozzle, after which they are flush with jets of water that is being flushed from the hoses. Of course, the cost of the equipment, as well as the skilled workers who serve this equipment, raises the cost of the service.


Another species is a portal wash. It is a box in which a washing machine is installed. The car is fixed on a special platform, while the machine is moving, carrying out the washing and drying.

Rare motorists, who have never used a portal car wash, risk giving their car to the "bewilder" foreign "beast"

Sometimes the options are met (and they are most often shown in the movie) when the car is installed on a moving platform that passes it through a series of all kinds of bristles, rolles, and "soul." In Europe and the United States, such "robotic" washing is not uncommon (such washing is even cheaper than manual), in Moscow the units. The unpopularity of this species is justified by the need for specialized large and expensive equipment to be procured abroad. In addition, few motorists who have never used such a "portal" risk giving their car to this foreign "beast".


There is also a so-called dry wash, which is also practically not known to Russian vtopialists. The essence of this method is the absence of water-special napkins, which simultaneously remove dirt and polish the body. Pros and cons of different mojas

Pros and cons of different mojas

Of course, each wash has its advantages and disadvantages. We'll start by order. The manual wash, as mentioned above, is the most budgetary option, and it does not need to be particularly looked at-it is omnipresent. But the coin has the opposite side-usually there are unprepared craftsmen working on similar ugs, who, because of their unprofessionalism, can damage the body of a car, leave scratches and chiffles on it.

In addition, the most expensive detergents are often used in such lounges, which may also damage the paint coverage of the car. The advantages of this kind include all kinds of additional services-surface washing, cleaning of salon, mats, vacuum cleaner processing, and others. They are offered both in the complex and separately.

In the case of the contactless motile, it is considered to be the fastest, as well as being considered as being in relation to the body. The car is not used by sponges and brush that can damage the surface of the body-cleaning is carried out exclusively by the pressure of the water. But this is the same as the main drawback-the washing of this kind is not able to cleanse the strong contaminates-for example, the petrol spots near the gas tank or the accumulation of dust under the doorknobs.

The advantages of a portal washing system are the quality of work performed, as well as a large selection of programs such as washing or premony under high pressure, waxing, anti-corrosion and so on. The disadvantage is that there is a greater likelihood of damage to "tornating" parts-mirrors, antennas and nobles. The level of "clamp" of robotic toothbrushes is traced to electronics.

So, the motorist has a choice that he can do in favor of cheap and varied hand washing, or, with little pollution and limited time, in favor of contactless. In addition, he can find a portal of a portal type in the city, but it is necessary to keep in mind its shortcomings and to pre-lay the mirrors, remove the wipers and the antenna.
