Honestly, I find it a pain to drive out to a touchless wash. I stick to traditional washes because they give me a chance to check for any damages too!
That’s a good point! A traditional wash can be a more thorough inspection of your vehicle while cleaning it.
I wonder if the effectiveness of touchless washes varies by location. I’ve experienced some that don’t even clean the bugs off the windshield!
That’s interesting! I’ve had mixed results too. Some are great, while others leave my car not completely clean. Maybe it’s worth trying a few to see which ones truly deliver.
I’ve always thought touchless car washes are just for lazy people. Haha! But hey, maybe it’s worth it to protect my paint! Thoughts?
Haha, I can see that! But seriously, it’s about finding the right balance between convenience and care for your car.
In the end, it really depends on your priorities. I feel like I’ve learned that both methods have their merits. It’s all about what works for you!
I’m planning to try a touchless wash soon, maybe it will be easier on my schedule. I’m hoping it lives up to the hype!
Hey everyone! I’m also searching for the best touchless car wash in Chicago. After washing, what’s the best way to extend that clean look and protect the paint?
I recommend using a good quality wax after you wash. It helps create a protective barrier and enhances the shine!
I agree with Mary! A spray-on wax can be super easy to apply after a wash. Just make sure to follow the instructions for the best results.
Does anyone have recommendations for specific brands? I want something that works well in Chicago’s weather!

I’ve had great results with Meguiar’s Quick Wax. It’s easy to apply and works wonders on that freshly washed surface!
Flawless shine! You might also consider using a microfiber towel to dry the car. It’s less abrasive and prevents scratches.
Thanks for the tip! Is it OK to use it on tinted windows too?
Yes, it’s safe for tinted windows! Just make sure to avoid product build-up. A good regular wash schedule really helps with that.
By the way, does anyone have suggestions for an effective water spot remover? Those are the worst after a wash!
I didn’t realize water spots could be such a pain! Try using a detailing spray. It works to lift those spots pretty easily.
Ha! Water spots are like tiny gremlins! I’ve heard using a clay bar after washing can also help keep the paint smooth and clean.
That sounds interesting! How often do you think one should clay bar the paint?
