Cars on the front line carry a dust film by afternoon, and the wheels go brown with brake dust. Back in service, the bay floor stays dark with oil no matter how often it gets hosed.
Dust film and brake dust need the right soap more than more pressure, and too much pressure is how clear coat and trim get damaged. Oil on a shop floor needs hot water. And before wash-bay water goes down a drain, ask your city what it requires.
A car that doesn't look ready when the customer walks up loses the first impression before anyone says hello. Detail hours climb when cars get washed twice, and a dirty service bay tells a customer how their own car will be treated.
The shop asks how many cars get washed a day and who does it, the detail crew or the porters. It asks whether you wash in a bay or out on the lot, what power the bay has, where the water goes, and how the service department cleans parts today.
For a detail bay, the Hotsy 700 is an electric portable hot-water machine on 208 or 230 volt single-phase, 3.0 to 3.5 GPM at 1500 to 2000 PSI, per the manufacturer's 2016 brochure. For a wash bay, the Hotsy CWC is a stationary cold-water cabinet, ready for remote operation from the bay. In service, a Cuda top-load parts washer cleans with hot water and biodegradable detergent instead of solvent. On a big lot, the AWW-HDS5 on the UT-CART pull cart carries 230 gallons around the property from $14,488.
Transport Vehicle Wash is the vehicle soap, and Citrus Clean boosts it on bad days. Tubmate General Purpose goes in the parts washer.
