Is Washing My Car Safe After I Get A New Windshield?

One of the most common questions asked by vehicle owners who have cars currently undergoing windshield replacement or who are planning to take their car to a repair garage soon is how long they should wait to wash their car after the replacement is complete. The question is surely important – windshield replacement is an expensive repair that no car owner wants ruin in a car wash and getting your car washed is an understandable wish after the car has spent days in the garage, waiting for the replacement.  Fortunately, the windshield replacement Thornton experts agree that you only have to wait  3 days to be safe before taking your car to a car wash after your car has received the new windshield.  However your car can be driven within 30 minutes of a windshield installation due to the newest adhesives that dry within that time frame.

The restriction does not apply to manually washing the car, though. Cleaning your car in a car wash, whether you do it yourself or the car is cleaned by an car wash employee, implies the usage of pressurized water, which might harm the new windshield, but cleaning the windshield manually, with gentle movements, a mild detergent and a soft cloth is considered to be a safe way to make the most of your new windshield.
