Automatic car washes like at H20 on Edinger use spinning brushes on machines that can leave swirl marks in paint. Here, hand towels are used by humans, which can still leave marks if dirt and debris get into the towels and continued to be used on car after car. Thus, only water spray-only washes like the gas station on bristol and paularino near mitsuwa supermarket can truly prevent any scratches because nothing but liquid touches the car surface. FV car wash is good for the majority of average car owners who aren't driving $$$ cars and aren't looking at surface imperfections up close at 1-2 foot distances at all angles. If you do have a car that must have perfect, mirror like, 100% swirl/mark free paint, then you'd want to use a water only car wash, or find a personal detailer that works on luxury vehicles and understands how to look at paint under a hard light at an angle to confirm zero marks and mirror like polished finishes.
They run your car thru a automatic car wash then someone finishes the wash by hand. Looks good when done.
