Here are some basic steps to help you get the best results from your car wash:

1. Park Your Vehicle
   Drive into the wash bay and park your vehicle properly within the lines.

2. Initial Rinse
   Begin by rinsing the entire vehicle with water. This helps remove loose dirt, dust, and debris from the surface.

3. Optional: Floor Mats
   If desired, remove your floor mats and give them a thorough rinse.

4. Apply Soap or Presoak
   Apply soap or a pre-wash solution (depending on the available options) to cover the entire vehicle.

5. Clean the Wheels
   Use the foam brush to scrub your wheels. Tip: Rinse the foam brush before use to remove any leftover dirt from the previous user.

6. High-Pressure Rinse
   Use the high-pressure rinse to wash off all the soap and residue from the vehicle, starting from the top and working your way down.

7. Apply Wax or Surface Protector
   If available, apply wax or another protective coating to help maintain your car's finish.

8. Dry the Vehicle
   Dry the car using an on-site automatic dryer or a clean towel, depending on what's available and your preference.

Congratulations – your car is now clean!
Following these steps ensures a thorough wash and helps keep your car in great condition.

Additional Tips for a Better Self-Service Wash Experience:

• Adjust the foam or soap settings when possible to avoid unnecessary waste and save money.

• Don’t forget to clean underneath the wheel wells — it’s a commonly overlooked area.

• Stand upwind while spraying to avoid getting wet yourself.

• Make full use of the time you're given in each wash cycle to maximize efficiency.

• Choose a facility that uses soft, heated water to help prevent mineral spots on your paint.

• Avoid spraying water directly into the engine bay — it can damage electrical components.

By following these tips, you’ll not only get a cleaner car but also make the most of your time and money at the self-service wash!
