What’s different here
Every touchless wash uses high-pressure soap. These are what this one adds on top.
Rain-X Graphene
A Rain-X protectant made with graphene. It helps water bead and run off the paint and glass, which also helps the blower dry the car. Supercharged and Top Gear.
Ceramic seal
A ceramic sealant applied in the wash for gloss and a water-repelling finish. It isn’t the same thing as a ceramic coating a detailer applies. Top Gear.
Lava Shield
A thick, coloured conditioning foam that blankets the whole car before the protectants go on. Top Gear.
Triple foam conditioner
Three coloured foams that condition the finish after the wash. Supercharged and Top Gear.

Passing through? We’re just off Highway 2 (the QEII) between Red Deer and Calgary, on the way to Edmonton, and Highway 2A runs right through town. Find us at 5105 40 Ave, Innisfail, a short drive from Penhold, Bowden and Pine Lake.
Is a touchless car wash safe for paint and ceramic coatings?
For the paint, yes: nothing touches it. It’s a touch-free wash, with no brushes, cloth or strips in the bay, so there’s nothing to drag grit across the clear coat and leave swirl marks. The presoaks and high-pressure water do the cleaning.
If your car has a ceramic coating, a touchless wash is one of the gentler ways to keep it clean, since nothing rubs the coating. Turbo has the fewest extra products, and whoever applied the coating can tell you what they recommend.
Touchless or brush?
A brush or cloth wash scrubs, so it can shift more stuck-on grime, but it touches the paint to do it. A touchless wash never does. This bay is touchless only.
The trade-off is that nothing scrubs. Caked-on mud or a heavy summer bug load may not all come off in one pass. For that, a few minutes in one of the self-serve wand wash bays is the better tool, or a wand bay first and the touchless after.
