Before you start: Gather your cleaning tools & products. Remove your mats & plastic inserts if you’d like. Take advantage of our Free time in the wash bays. There’s no cost to having your vehicle in our bays, so take as long as you need.
Remember when spraying your vehicle, the most efficient way to spray is from top to bottom.
EXTERIOR CLEANING:
Presoak: Use our “Presoak” Detergent &/or “Foam Cannon” to loosen & lubricate dirt so it doesn’t scratch when washed off. Soak your mats if they are rubber. Spray “Tire & Engine Cleaner” on Wheels & Tires.
Soap & Scrub: Apply high pressure soap to your vehicle to further remove excess dirt & grime. Remember to spray your undercarriage & wheel wells as necessary, which prevents rust from forming on the underside of your vehicle. Use a wash mitt or our “Foam Brush” Option to remove road grime. We offer a bucket of warm filtered water for you to use at no charge if you request it.
Rinse: After using high pressure soap & scrubbing off road grime, rinse all the soap & dirt off with our high pressure “rinse” option. Spray your mats off as well.
Polish, Wax, & Spot Free Rinse: Apply a light coat of our “Tricolour Polish” to your vehicle, then seal the polished finish with our high pressure carnauba “Wax” option. After applying a coat of wax to your vehicle, finish your wash off with a good spray of “Spot Free Rinse”.
Hand Dry: Pressing stop on your Bay Master screen turns off the wash options & is no longer costing you money, so take as much time as you need. Dry your vehicle using a Water Blade Squeegee &/or Microfiber Cloth. Dry your door jambs to keep them clean & dry. *Optional*: Apply Floor Mat Renew for a fresh, new look.
INTERIOR CLEANING:
6. Interior Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt from your dash & seats with a microfiber, use the “Detail Blower” Option to remove dirt & dust from trimming & seams, then use our “Vacuum & Shampoo” option to clean your seats & floor. Be sure to pull the shampoo trigger as needed. Use our “Deodorizer” option to remove any unwanted odors by spraying onto cloth seats & carpet. It’s good to know that our deodorizer is also a stain remover. Wipe & Vacuum up excess deodorizer as needed. After using these options you can press stop on the Bay Master screen so you are no longer being charged for your time in the bays.
7. Apply Products to Interior / Dash, Doors, Seats & Glass: Spray Interior Cleaner & Protectant onto a Microfiber and wipe the Dash, Doors & Center Console areas. It’s ideal to replace a dirty microfiber with a clean one to prevent dirt from spreading from one place to another. Wipe all surfaces until they are clean. Use All Purpose Cleaner, Leather Cleaner & Conditioner, or Stain Extractor depending on if your seats are Leather or a Fabric Cloth. Clean Glass with a dedicated glass cleaner. Spray Glass Cleaner onto a Microfiber, wipe onto glass until clean. Then buff glass with a clean dry microfiber or shammy towel to remove streaks from both interior and exterior glass.
8. Final Touches: If you notice any small particles left on the surfaces in your vehicle from wiping them down, you can use the “Detail Blower” option & do a quick once over with high pressure air to remove these small particles.
