Hey guys,

I was just wondering, can a high pressure hose (those ones at car wash shops) give your car swirls?

Just curious..

Thanks

 

Short answer....no.

I can imagine at a certain pressure level the water can damage your paint, but I doubt it's that strong at a car wash. Water pressure doesn't cause swirls though.

If you have swirls, take care of them first and then change your washing habits. Having a clean sponge/mitt or whatever your washing with is VERY important. Also, don't wash, polish or do anything with abrasives in circles. Their is A LOT of great info at www.autopia.org.

 

Thanks, very informative. Great stuff!
