🚿 Why the Local Car Wash Might Be Convenient — But It’s Costing You More Than You Think

Apr 22

We totally get it — pulling into your local drive-through car wash feels fast, easy, and cheap. You’re in and out in minutes, and your car looks cleaner… right?

But here at East Coast Car Company, we know the truth behind those so-called “quick fixes.” 🧼 Most of the swirl marks, dull paint, and scratches we fix every day come directly from automatic car washes. 😬

Here’s why that $12 car wash could actually be costing you hundreds in long-term damage, and what you can do instead to keep your ride looking 🔥 all year round.

1. 🌀 Brushes = Paint Damage

Those spinning brushes might look soft — but they’re not. In fact, they’re often full of dirt and grime from every car before yours. 😳

When they hit your car at high speed, they create tiny scratches called “swirl marks” that dull your paint over time.
🎨 Your car’s paint should shine — not look like it’s been attacked by a Brillo pad.

2. ⏩ Fast = Incomplete

Car washes are designed for speed, not quality. They skip over tight areas, leave dirt in door jambs, and never touch your interior.

Meanwhile, your wheels stay half-dirty, and your dashboard is still dusty. 🧽
We clean what they can't even reach. 👌

3. 💸 Cheap = Short-Term Results

Sure, your car might look shiny for a few hours… but that’s about it. No long-term protection, no sealants, no interior conditioning. Just soap, rinse, repeat. 🫠

With our professional mobile detailing, you get real results that last — from premium sealants that protect your paint to full interior care that keeps your car feeling brand new. 🌟
