What Does a Standard Car Wash Include?

Step 1: Remove and clean the floor mats, then place them in a spin dryer for drying; Step 2: Use a high-pressure water gun to wash the vehicle body, starting from the top down, with water pressure generally not exceeding 7 MPA. Begin with a dispersed mist spray to wet the entire car before using a concentrated water stream for rinsing; Step 3: Use the high-pressure water gun to clean sludge from hard-to-reach areas like the chassis, gaps between thresholds, and the top of wheels. For parts with mud and gravel, such as tires and the lower body skirts, use specialized decomposition equipment to avoid damaging the paint; Step 4: Apply car wash soap, typically a neutral detergent. Use a new sponge (about the size of a brick) to apply soap around the lower skirts of the car, then use the other side of the sponge to clean the four wheel hubs. Switch to another sponge, dip it in a different detergent, and clean all the windows. Then, use a new sponge with fresh detergent to wash the car's painted surfaces; Step 5: Rinse off the soap from top to bottom with the high-pressure water gun, paying special attention to "hard-to-clean spots" like side mirror gaps; Step 6: Polish the car body using towels or chamois, with different towels for different areas; Step 7: Vacuum the interior and clean the floor mats; Step 8: Clean the trunk; Step 9: Perform tire care—dry the wheel hubs and apply a protective coating to the tires. Following these nine standard procedures, washing a complete car should take no less than 25 minutes.
