Why are there dried water spots on my car after a wash?
San Jose is notorious for having 'hard' water. Hard water has a high mineral content (as opposed to soft water). This causes a white ring in areas where get water drops - under side mirrors, around your trunk. We us water softening techniques to help deliver a better wash and we use drying techniques in our tunnel to remove as much of the excess water as possible in a timely fashion. A best practice by savvy car wash goers is to have a small towel on hand to catch any drops that linger after a wash.
Can someone else drive my vehicle through the tunnel?
Of course. We understand that the car wash tunnel, it's flying soap and light show are not for everyone. If you'd like us to drive your vehicle through the wash, just ask any team member for a supervisor's help.
Why is their still bug guts on my car?
It's a bummer when you have a really dirty car, get the best wash, and find bug guts all over the front. We hate it too. If not removed quickly after 'splat', bug guts will dry, harden and stick to a vehicles finish. Sometimes removal requires a special solvent. Our wash process does not use any kind of solvents that could potentially harm your vehicle or the environment. Regular washing will help eliminate those ugly bug guts.
What is that brown 'stuff' on my car after your wash?
