My BF told me not to take the Porshe through the car wash because it ruin the paint, what's wrong with paint?

Please explain why an automatic car wash would hurt the paint.My BF told me not to take the Porshe through the car wash because it ruin the paint, what's wrong with paint?
There is nothing wrong with the paint on the Porshe. The problem is that car washes do damage to paint jobs whether it is a Bentley or a Kia. The ones with the brushes will leave microscopic scriches in the paint that will allow water and other elements to further damage the paint job. Touchless ones don't always remove all the cleansing agents and again can corrode the paint job. With run of the mill cars (ones 95% of us drive) owners don't really care. A Toyota with imperfections in the paint is still just a Toyota and most feel the effort taken to hand wash the car is more valuable than the paint job. Your boyfriend bought a Porshe because... well I don't know but after spending that kind of money he wants it to look as good as possible for as long as possible.My BF told me not to take the Porshe through the car wash because it ruin the paint, what's wrong with paint?
A Porsche is an expensive car with an expensive car wash. The above posts are correct, you really need to baby it. However, a good paint job that is well taken care of will last the life of the car.


Also remember that most of the automatic car washes merely ';filter'; the water and recycle it. You don't know what is spraying on your precious girl. ;(
You need to only go with touch free washes. The regular car wash collect dirt on those hangy things that scrub the car and that scratches the finish. Plus they use cheep wax and your bf might want to stay with something a little more high quality. If your picky, it's better to just wash the car at home.
i would not take a porche thru a car wash, unless its touchless
