What type of goggles should be used for a wash job?

Splash proof (non-vented) goggles are specifically designed to protect the eyes from water and chemicals during wash jobs. They create a secure seal around the eyes, preventing any splashes from entering and causing irritation or injury. The non-vented design ensures that there is no direct airflow, which helps to keep water and contaminants out while maintaining a clear line of sight.

Regular sunglasses do not provide the necessary protection from splashes and are not designed to create a seal. Riding goggles, while they may protect against large debris, do not offer the same level of splash protection needed for wash jobs. Safety goggles with vents allow airflow, which can let water and chemicals enter, defeating the purpose of protective eyewear during a wash.
