Many private gas stations in the mainland will provide free car wash services for car owners, as long as the owner of the car refueling reaches a certain amount, the gas station will provide the owner with a car wash coupon for free, and the owner can drive the car to the car wash machine to automatically clean.
Free car washing at the gas station can save more than 20 yuan, but some smart car owners are determined not to wash, afraid of vehicle damage during the car wash, what is going on? Mr. Liu, a car owner in Shandong, said that he had washed the car for free at a private gas station, and after washing the car, he found that there were a large number of scratches on the car, and it cost hundreds of yuan to repair the paint.
Can the free car wash machine be used?
Most gas stations are equipped with contact automatic car washes, which extend several brushes to the surface of the car. When the vehicle passes through the car washer, the brush will spray water and rub on the surface of the car to wipe off the dust on the surface of the car.
It is not recommended that you use a contact car washer, mainly because this car wash machine is easy to get on. When driving, the machine will first spray water on the surface of the car, and then the huge brush will roll on the surface of the car. Few people clean the dirt from the brush of the car washer, so there may be some small pebbles and sediment in the brush.
When the brush rolls on the surface of the car, small pebbles and sediment may scratch the paint, resulting in long scratches in the paint. Many car owners have used a contact car washer to wash the car and find that the car is not clean, the body has scratches, and the water in the car has a problem.
First, it is not clean.
After the contact car wash machine sprays water on the surface of the car, several brushes roll on the surface of the vehicle, because the brush cannot clean every dead corner of the car, so some corners of the car, the boundary of the body line and the functional internal test cannot be washed at all.
Second, scratch the paint.
When the brush rolls on the surface of the car, the mud and sand in the friction will come into contact with the body, which is easy to leave long scratches on the surface of the car. Some luxury cars are very expensive, it costs thousands of dollars to repair the paint once, in case the owner uses a contact car washer to wash the paint, it will not be worth the loss.
Third, it is easy to damage the vehicle.
Some contact car wash machines are not easy to use, and the car wash process will cause damage to the vehicle. When Mr. Liu washed the car, the fibers in the brush wrapped around the antenna on the surface of the car, and because the brush turned too hard, the antenna on the car was dragged down, resulting in a huge hole in the surface of the car.
Mr. Li also encountered an accident when washing the car, and the brush turned with greater force, directly knocking off the rearview mirror on the side of the car. Mr. Li hoped that the gas station could lose money, but the gas worker refused Mr. Li's request on the grounds that the car wash was a free gift, and finally Mr. Li spent more than 1,000 to replace a new rearview mirror.
Many car owners use the contact car washer to wash the car, they have found more or less damage on the surface of the car, and then the owner finally learned to be smart, this cheap can not be occupied.
Now there is also a non-contact car wash machine on the market, this machine is safer, when the vehicle enters the instrument, the high-pressure water gun will spray water on the surface of the car, and the car will be washed at 360 degrees without dead angles.
This kind of car wash machine is safe and efficient, and the owner does not have to worry about scratching the paint during the car wash, nor does he have to worry about not washing clean. The next time you wash the car, the owner must carefully observe the type of car wash machine, if the car wash shop uses a contact car wash instrument, everyone would rather spend more money to wash the car at their own expense, rather than use this machine to wash.
