Fifth Gear Car Wash

I wonder how many morons will watch that now and say "Only tunnel car washes for me!" and argue that tunnel washes are better than hand washes. LOL
 
It's too bad they were ignorant in ruining the test by using the blades on the hand wash.



A proper hand wash wins with proper techniques. If the detailer was that good, then he would have performed the hand wash himself and would have proven that a handwash wins with proper drying. He would have needed microscopes to determine the damage as it would have been in the 0's.
 
Yep, I agree. He should of done a proper hand wash himself. Now people are still going to think car washes are fine. Possibly even better than hand washes.
 
He probably wanted that to happen so people would take their cars to the tunnel wash and then have to come to him for a detail. LOL
 
That started out pretty cool but ended up being idiotic. They don't even bother explaining that the touchless wouldn't have inflicted any damage if they didn't use the brush.
 
The funny thing is the tunnel wash that won had horrid silicon scum water spots all over it and it won.



If he was that good of a detailer then he would know that light scratches come out easier than silicon water spots. The water spots will damage the paint and windows for life if they are continued and left on.



If this was based on lazy washes, then he should have just left it alone. that would have the least amount of damage after a year.
 
Of course, the best way is to wash the thing yourself, or bring your own tools to the jet wash.



This is going to create such misconceptions. The water blade wouldn't have created all those scratches if used properly. I guess you're asking for it when the place is only 10 pounds.



I suppose what he's saying is that for people who hate to wash their cars and are lazy (and who can blame them during winter, unless you're using ONR) the normal car wash is the least of all evils.
 
You know what. I think if I paid 1300 for a wax it had better protect me from a .45 caliper round let alone a car wash. LOL

lesser of the evils is right..... of course if you have a babied car with such a nice polish job / LSP protection, i'd think you wouldn't come near any of those

They also may not want to know that the solvents from the car washes probably removed most of that protection as well... :doh :nixweiss
 
too bad they didn't do a touchless tunnel wash.



I used one of those waterblades....once....brand new out of the package and I could see that I was damaging the paint. Most unsettling experience.

Oh the wax is mostly gone and what is left is now contaminated with harsh chemical residue and silicon. He ruined the the expensive wax, expensive polishing job, and possibly the paint and maybe windows. Don't forget the other 2 cars he trashed too.:cry:



This was only a test:woot2:



All that money and hard work down the drain in the tunnel wash, just to be recycled to the next victim.:hmph:
