What Kind Of Car Wash Damages Your Paintwork The Most?
In this classic Fifth Gear clip, Tim Shaw tries out an automatic car wash, a jet wash and a hand wash to see which method is the most detrimental to paintwork
Always remember to follow these car washing rules!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

still waiting for dislok to comment
non-petrolheads be like: just dont wash the car then
non-car-guys saying this kind of bullshit won’t survive any longer around me.
Or more like, why do you a car then?
My trucks 12 years old always hand washed never buffed or waxed still looks new… wax as you dry is amazing
As a detailer I die a little inside when an expensive cars comes in totally ruined by the car wash. Costs around 250€ to polish the whole car again. Did that a few days ago for our new XC60
Does polish fix damage made by car washes? Or is it just a temporary cover up?
Using the rim-brush for the body
Two bucket wash SONNNN
I was the car in the war wash and dry it with a microcloth My car is 10 years old so the paint work is already a bit scratched but at summer I was my car by hand of course and give it a good wax
Hand job is 7/10
But…
Hand jobs are always the best. That’s how I do it. e.e
This is so bad. After the handwash they ruin it with that stupid drying blade… Conclusion: Carwash wins! This is exactly why I don’t like Fifth gear. If you bring the car to someone who actually cares about your paint they wouldn’t use those blades to dry it off…. But to conclude it with the carwash being the winner is utter bullsh**
Exactly, my local one has a proper drying vac like you would see at the petrol station carwash. You see all sorts of cars there from Ferraris, Bentleys to your average banger.
