touchless wash

No-contact car bath

A touchless wash is a car wash that cleans vehicles using only high-pressure water, detergents, and air—no brushes, cloths, or other physical contact with the car's surface.

The method appeals to owners worried about scratches from traditional automated washes: I only take my car through touchless washes.
