Yes, and it is the most common way we see paint get damaged in College Station.

Soft touch tunnels are the worst offender. Those brushes touch every vehicle that goes through, and nothing gets cleaned between cars. If the truck ahead of you came off a job site caked in mud, that grit is now in the brush, and the brush is what drags across your paint next. Nobody at the entrance turns a filthy vehicle away. That is how a finish picks up swirl marks and fine scratches in a matter of minutes.

Touchless washes trade that problem for a different one. Because nothing physically touches the vehicle, the chemistry has to do all the work, so those systems run high acid cleaners to lift dirt on their own. Used over and over, that strips wax and sealant and dulls trim and clear coat.

We hand wash with two buckets and clean media, on your vehicle only. If the paint is already swirled from tunnel washes, paint correction removes it, and a ceramic coating makes future washes far safer on the finish.
