Generally, a car wash takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the vehicle and the level of dirt. Below is a detailed introduction to the standard car wash process at a car wash shop: 1. Clean the floor mats: Remove the interior floor mats of the car and clean them thoroughly. 2. Wash the car body: Use a water gun to rinse the exterior of the car from top to bottom and from far to near, paying special attention to the areas around the tires and behind the wheels. 3. Apply foam: After the entire car is wet, use a foam cleaning solution spray gun to apply foam all over the car, then wipe the entire car with a sponge or wool glove. Rinse off the cleaning solution with a water gun. 4. Dry the water stains: Move the car to a relatively clean area, and two people should spread a pure cotton bath towel on both sides of the car, pulling it from the front to the rear and then from the rear to the front (to absorb most of the surface water droplets), drying the water stains. Use chamois leather to clean all the windows (both inside and outside). 5. Clean the dashboard: Wipe the dashboard with dashboard wax.
