Why are touchless car wash bad??

Hi just wondering what are the cons of touchless car wash??

No cons unless you don't know what you're doing. ONR is an awesome product. Don't be stingy with it. You can pour it into a spray bottle and carry it around as a quick detailer to leave a streakless finish for your windows.

The point of the product is to increase lubricity between the mitt you're using and your paint. That is exactly what this does. Simple as that. Be careful while drying the car. That is where the damage occurs. Use a high pile MF towel and spend well on that to get the least damage during drying. Then top it off with some spray wax or sealant and then gloat!

No better or worse. Its just what you want to invest in. Personally I like ONR. Chemical guys make great products too. 2 bucket is to be as careful as possible with your finish. I would advise using that system if you want to maintain flawless paint. You can also go to a self serve car wash and use that too. That's what I normally do.

Well if you don't have one then a high pile MF towel would be the best way. If you do have a leaf blower or compressed air that's a great way to work it.
