All of the Touchless Car Washes in Austin | Fiori Visuals

What’s good, enthusiasts fam and Austin locals! It’s your favorite car photographer Geo from Fiori Visuals, here to shed some light  on all the Touchless car washes in Austin. It’s a topic I see a lot on social media and in conversations at our local meets. Paint is one of the first things we look at when peeping someone’s build, and I think we can all agree that the less work we gotta do keep it mint, the better. Cool. So let me tell you how I’m gonna save you possibly thousands of dollars in the long run by giving you the plug, to all the known touchless car washes in the Austin area. Let’s break it down.

Why Opt for a Touchless Car Wash?

Those convenient car washes that scrub your car’s paint can do near irreparable damage to your cars paint and clear coat. You’re better off coping this 6-in-1 Car Wash Kit that I put on my perfect gifts for car guys list and gift yourself every time you look at your cars beautiful color. Let me show you the cons of a traditional car wash:

Water Spots

One of the main problems with some automatic car washes? Water spots. Especially if they’re rockin’ that older equipment. The cleaning and drying process might not be on point, leading to those nasty water stains.

DO NOT Preserve Your Car’s Paint

Ever noticed those tiny scratches that seem to appear out of nowhere after a traditional car wash? Let’s keep it buck: nobody wants to see scratches on their ride after a wash. But guess what? Some automatic spots still use those rough brushes and bristles. Over time, those worn-out conveyor/tunnel brush’s can do a number on your car’s paint and might even mess up that shiny clear coat.

Reaching Those Tight Spots

Here’s another thing: automatic washes ain’t always getting into those hard-to-reach spots on your vehicle. If dirt sets in these hidden corners, it could cause some long-term damage.

The Real Costs of Quick Fixes

New Paint Jobs

Ever seen a ride with chipped paint or those tiny scratches that catch the sunlight just wrong? Not the best look, right? If your automatic car wash ends up damaging your paint job, you’re looking at a hefty price tag to set things right. We’re talking anywhere between $2,500 to $5,000 for a new paint job. Yeah, you read that right.

Car Wraps

Maybe you’re thinking about car wraps as an alternative. They’re sleek, they’re modern, and they give your car a unique look. But guess what? They ain’t cheap either. A quality wrap will set you back around $2,500 or more. And if it gets damaged because of some abrasive car wash brushes? Well, you’ll be dipping into your pockets again.

Ceramic Coatings

If you’re about that glossy finish and that extra layer of protection, you might be considering ceramic coatings. But even these aren’t immune to the damages of a traditional car wash. These coatings can range from $800 to $2,000. Now imagine having to reapply it because an automatic car wash ruined it!

How Touchless Car Washes Can Save Your Wallet

Real real talk, in this economy, owning a car ain’t cheap. Especially if you’re looking to keep that ride looking new year after year. Now, I get it. Sliding into an automatic car wash, especially during those blazing Austin summers, feels like the move. That convenience? Almost Unbeatable. But let me drop some numbers on you. Maybe then, you’ll see that the initial convenience might end up costing you big in the long run. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the fenders on my E93 after a year of caca car washes. Guess who’s needs to take a trip to detail garage… this guy
