If your paint looks like a spiderweb in direct sun after the tunnel, those are swirl marks—micro-scratches from dirty brushes and grit.
Most wash-induced swirls are correctable. Repeating the same tunnel wash undoes the repair in weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Are automatic car washes bad for ceramic coating?
Brush tunnels can mar coatings and paint. Soft hand washes or studio maintenance washes are safest for coated vehicles.
Can swirl marks be removed permanently?
Yes—paint correction levels the clear coat. Ceramic coating then helps future washes release dirt with less friction.
