How do car washes work? How do car washes work?
As far as I’m concerned, car washes are magic. My car arrives filthy and leaves sparkling clean. How the heck does it all work?

We’ve said it before: car washes and Penicillin—human beings’ two best inventions. Car washes are typically touchless or cloth-based. They use high-powered jets of water or soft cloth to clean your car.
Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty details:
- The two types of car washes are touchless and cloth-based.
- In a touchless car wash, jet streams of water clean the car. They are usually activated by a sensor.
- In a cloth-based car wash, soft pieces of cloth clean your car.
- Oftentimes, both touchless and cloth-based technology are used in a car wash.
There ya go! Just drive onto the conveyor belt of the car wash, put your car in neutral, and let the wash do its thing! It’s maaaaaaagic! (Or science).
Make sure that sparkling clean car has a sparkling
