How Do You Use A Self Service Car Wash?
• Scope out the territory to find one with the car bays and spray nozzles. • Drive car into center of bay. Drive into an empty bay centering the car away from walls. Give enough berth so that you can walk all the way around the car and still hold the spray wand. The wand is on a boom and will swivel with you where you go. • Selection Dial. This takes only coins. Determine the cost of the wash. If writing is obscured or sketchy, go check another bay because they will likely be all the same price. Machines usually take quarters. New ones take a charge card, too. • Locate the change machine in order to get the right amount of quarters or bring your own. You may need from $2.00 to $5.00 for an entire clean. Determine which direction the dial points to start. There are 4 or 5 stages of a car wash: • Pre-soak (to get initial gunk off and start the soak and loosen the road film). • Wash (where suds come out). • Foam Brush (Using the scrub wand). • Rinse (to get the soap off). • Selection Dial
