Automated car washes are great because they are fast, and I always wondered about effectiveness of the upgradable wax option. I have tried a few times, but whenever I would run my finger across the paint, it would never smoothly glide like hand applied waxes. Just recently Honda Carland in Roswell, GA installed a waxing machine called the “Auto Butler”. Upon hearing about the Auto Butler I was very apprehensive, thinking that it will not come close to the effectiveness of a by-hand wax application. Well… I was wrong like many times! I place my own vehicle in the Auto Butler after it was cleaned. The machine covered my vehicle in a liquid, and then the rotating brushes covered every inch of the paint and glass. So, the real tests had to be administered. I ran my finger across the paint, and it glided just like the hand waxes. Not yet content with my latest revelation, I had to see how it worked in the rain. So driving up to New York for the Holidays afforded me rain, snow, and sleet in one trip. The windows repelled the water, and allowed the wipers to clear. The water beaded and streaked of the paint in the rain. So, I was forced to concede, wax can be applied by a machine. Who would have “Thunk”!

So research must follow this ground-breaking discovery. The application is a two-step application process. The first visit Honda Carland cleans and removes all of the dirt from your vehicle. Then they run the vehicle through the Auto Butler. The first cycle administers a high-grade cleaner/polish.  This will help remove any dirt and industrial contaminants. Next, the protection coat is applied to protect your paint from the enviornmental hazards and UV radiation.  The brushes have over 20,000 soft finger-like cloths that push the polish into every nook and cranny. The nice thing, is you do not have to worry about swirl marks or buffer burn. The Auto Butler does have a warranty program that will cover additional applications. I strongly suggest  checking this service out, since I’m a believer!
