How Long Does It Take to Wash a Car?

[DiElisa]

It takes about 20 minutes to wash a car. Here are some relevant tips for car washing: 1. Be cautious with cold water in summer: After high-speed driving or prolonged exposure to the sun, the surface temperature of the car paint is very high. Using cold water at this time can cause serious damage to the paint (especially for newly repaired scratched surfaces), and in severe cases, it may lead to paint cracking. Additionally, it can harm the metal structure of the car, particularly the internal mechanical components, and in extreme cases, may cause metal parts to crack, affecting safety. 2. Choosing the right weather for car washing: Avoid washing your car at noon, as water droplets on the paint surface act like convex lenses, creating localized high temperatures that can affect the gloss of the paint over time. If possible, it's best to wash your car in a shaded area and ensure it is dried before driving out, as this provides better protection for the paint.
