Self-service car wash

How does it work and what are the benefits?

The self-service car wash is a practical and fast solution that allows you to wash your car independently with professional tools, ensuring greater control over the products used and how the vehicle is cleaned. In addition to a car exterior cleaning facility, the car wash can have a space where you can clean the upholstery or manually finish body details.

 

The advantages of the self-service car wash

Compared to manual and automatic washing methods, the self-service car wash has several advantages:

  

You can decide in complete autonomy when to wash your car (most of them are open 24 hours a day).

 

Time saving.

  

Possibility to adapt the wash to the needs of your vehicle, adjusting the amount of product and making only the necessary options.

Greater control over the quality of the cleaning, which is carried out personally.

     

How the self-service car wash works

In addition to a car exterior cleaning facility, a car wash can have a space in which upholstery can be cleaned or body details can be manually finished. Most self-service car washes feature three basic settings: wash, soap, and rinse, while more advanced facilities also include prewashing and waxing.
All steps are timed.

The procedure to follow is simple:

1

Park the car at the location, remembering to close the windows.

2

Pay at the acceptor and select the "Pre-wash" or "Wash" function, rinsing the bodywork with the lance to remove dust and surface residues.

3

Select the "Soap" function to release the detergent and apply it with the high-pressure lance.

4

Use the brush at the station and scrub the car, soaping every part of the bodywork and the wheel rims.

5

Select the "Rinse" function and rid the vehicle of the cleaning agent by spraying it with the high-pressure lance.

6

Wipe the bodywork dry with the buckskin and dry the windows with a cotton or wire cloth.
