While there is no way to prevent bugs from splattering on your paint or windshield, you can protect your cars clearcoat. The most important thing you can do to protect your car is get your car detailed ASAP. The longer the bugs are left on the car, the worse. Every day, the acidity of the bug guts etches further into the clearcoat. Eventually, the guts will become so hard to remove that not even the strongest of chemicals or washing can remove them. If your vehicle has no protective coating on it, bug guts will harm paint faster. Having a coating on your vehicle, such as a wax or sealant, protects the clearcoat against the elements by serving as a sacrificial layer. While you may be considering taking your car to an automatic car wash to remove the bugs, it should be the last thing to consider. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/6c6cb967-7a71-4e15-a254-645faa3e11fe/20250613_160644.jpg Blog - Cicadas Are Destroying Your Cars Paint, Here’s How to Fix It - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/1749848025590-ELGRSQ7XGP9GUMYFUO9S/unsplash-image-9iH_6JO7Ufs.jpg Blog - Cicadas Are Destroying Your Cars Paint, Here’s How to Fix It While convenient, automatic car washes do nothing but harm your paint. Bug guts are difficult to remove, and automatic car washes are simply not capable of removing them and their acidic guts. Bug guts usually require specially wash practices, clay barring, and decontamination to fully remove, which is something only detailers can accomplish. When your car is taken through an automatic car wash, the bug guts are not removed and a cheap coating is applied over them, sealing them in. A proper detail fully decontaminates the paint before applying a high quality coating. Simply put, automatic car washes seal in the acidic bug guts. This allows the guts to continue eating away your clearcoat. https://www.wheelhousedetailing.com/blog/how-to-clean-the-backup-camera-on-a-volkswagen-gti-emblem monthly 0.5 2025-06-04 https://www.wheelhousedetailing.com/blog/how-water-can-damage-your-car monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/584bcc1a-3046-4af8-a68d-ec5708e31969/Water_Spots.jpg Blog - How Water Can Damage Your Car - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/1748806090022-UNU0DJS7V1L3VERP7SZW/unsplash-image-UeBFFAPwuj8.jpg Blog - How Water Can Damage Your Car - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.wheelhousedetailing.com/blog/mwl63ejr4ew0ju6v3d8cj96qztaqzn monthly 0.5 2025-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/1748733102529-LTEW5XZ02SNMANSUS25Y/unsplash-image-JIcR3-O8ko8.jpg Blog - The Car Dealership “Ceramic Coating” Scam - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.wheelhousedetailing.com/blog/why-you-should-not-go-to-an-automatic-car-wash monthly 0.5 2025-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/1748730437724-F7BN8KCFSSPPILGF5G2V/unsplash-image-5A0iVZ8EEZU.jpg Blog - Why You Should Not go to an Automatic Car Wash, Even the Touchless Ones - Standard Automatic Car Washes To the untrained eye a automatic car wash looks like it will do a good job cleaning your vehicle. While it does remove a lot of the dirt of your vehicle it comes at an expensive cost. The large, fast spinning brushes carry small rocks, debris, and contaminates from all previous vehicles it has touched. These hard rocks are being propelled into your paint, creating millions of scratches in a swirl pattern. This pattern of scratches is visible from all angles, and requires extensive paint correction to repair. While you saved money by going to the automatic car wash, you now have to spend hundreds to thousands in labor intensive paint correction, sometimes require your vehicle to be wet sanded. Unless you do not care about extensively scratching your paint, stay clear of these type of car washes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/1748730588004-BB8CKB9FPHE3L64T2EVH/unsplash-image-9iH_6JO7Ufs.jpg Blog - Why You Should Not go to an Automatic Car Wash, Even the Touchless Ones - Touchless Automatic Car Washes These types of car washes remove the large spinning brushes that are known for scratching paint, and instead wash your vehicle with just soap and water. While this is a safer alternative, your paint will never be fully clean as the chemicals cannot fully remove bonded dirt and contaminates. Additionally, in order for these automatic car washes to clean your paint without physical agitation they require the use of harsh soaps. These soaps remove or weaken any protection you have on your paint significantly, such as waxes or sealants. While they do apply some protection to your vehicles paint after, it is usually subpar. The waxes used by automatic car washes will not bond to your vehicles paint because the paint is not fully clean. Additionally, the waxes used are of subpar quality and will not last longer than a week or two, while high quality waxes can last up to a year on properly cleaned vehicles. This not only protects the paint longer and more effectively but also keeps the vehicles appearance looking good for months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67ef08ff81031a593ba427cb/65f9f0d3-90d6-4a6f-b992-733ac5e349e1/20250530_180509.jpg Blog - Why You Should Not go to an Automatic Car Wash, Even the Touchless Ones - Detailers Vs. Car Washes In short, the difference between a Detailer and a Car Wash is that Detailers care about your vehicle, using techniques, products, and experience to wash and clean your car safely and effectively. Car washes on the other hand only care about washing your car for cheap, and will use subpar techniques and products to quickly wash your vehicle without caring about damaging and scratching your vehicle. https://www.wheelhousedetailing.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-13
