2013 Lincoln MKX -Tunnel Wash are Death to your Car’s Paint

Tunnel Wash are Death to your Cars Paint



This is a 2013 Lincoln MKX. It was in pretty good condition to start with, but it still had some scuff marks from running it through multiple tunnel washes. Most people don’t realize the damage that a tunnel wash will do to a car’s finish. The soap that must be used to clean a vehicle, has to be harsh enough to blast away dirt and grime in a matter of a couple minutes. It has to be caustic in nature. Now imagine something that strong sitting on your vehicle’s finish.

Tunnel Washes will destroy your Vehicle’s finish without proper protection

Have you ever thought, whenever you go to a “carwash”, why are they always trying to sell me that stupid wax upgrade? After all you just wanted to get your car washed. That’s it. The answer to the question is, the detailers at the car wash, know that when you get home you will see that your car is actually dull as opposed to being shiny. The caustic wash that they have to use will do that. The only way for you to get the shine back is to re-wax it. Chances are also, that the wax they use will not last very long maybe a month if that.

I did an Exterior Detail on this and used Menzerna 3-n-1, and finished off Menzerna Color Lock Yellow Wax. This should last about 3 months in the Florida heat.
