Does No-Rinse Car Wash Solution Damage the Car?
2 Answers
No-rinse car wash solutions do not harm the car paint. Here is an introduction to car paint-related content: 1. Spray Paint: White spray paint is designed to repair scratches on cars, but it definitely differs from the effect of baked paint. 2. Adhesion: The adhesion of spray paint is much worse than that of baked paint, and it may start peeling off after about a year. The difference in paint finish not only has a certain color deviation from the original factory paint but also lacks the gloss of baked paint. Therefore, if you have high requirements for the paint finish, try to avoid using spray paint. Here is additional information about scratches: 1. Scratches: During daily use, it is unavoidable for the car paint to be scratched by hard objects, such as zippers on a passerby's backpack or small stones kicked up while driving, leaving slight marks on the paint. 2. Coating Treatment: Minor scratches are the most common on the car body but do not affect its overall appearance. In such cases, they can generally be ignored. For perfectionists, you can visit a car beauty shop for treatments like coating to restore some of the minor scratches on the car paint.
No-rinse car wash solutions sound convenient, but improper use can damage your paint. After researching formulations from many brands, I've learned that a qualified no-rinse wash should have a neutral pH without strong acids/alkalis to avoid corroding the clear coat. For best results, use with a pressure washer: first rinse off surface grit, evenly spray the solution and wait 3 minutes for dirt emulsification, then rinse thoroughly. Applying wash directly to muddy surfaces can trap abrasive particles that cause swirl marks when rinsed. Some inferior products contain petroleum solvents that degrade coatings over time. Choose neutral pH solutions from reputable brands and avoid washing under direct sunlight for optimal paint protection.
