However, many commenters agreed with the TikTok user and her decision to skip the dealership’s car wash.
“Same for me,” one supporter wrote.
“My husband hates automatic car washes too. He says the same thing,” another said.
“I always hand wash my car so the paint doesn’t get scratched,” wrote one conscientious car owner.
However, some people pointed out that there’s no point in trying to keep a car in perfect condition.
“I felt the same way when I bought my new Honda. I tried to keep it in as good condition as possible. I could only use public parking, so the dents and scratches started to show up. Then I stopped caring,” they wrote.
