At first glance, let's be clear, there is no mandatory training required to operate a car wash station or to learn the necessary cleaning techniques. However, once that is said and done and to be complete, it should be noted that there are indeed private training programs available in this field. The duration of these highly specific training programs can vary from 2 or 3 days to 1 week, rarely more, and they allow you to learn everything about products, materials, textures, and tips that will enable you to do a top-notch job. Do a quick search on the internet, and you will find several training programs of this type that offer you the chance to acquire professional know-how and an effective methodology when it comes to car detailing, including interior cleaning and exterior vehicle washing. It is worth noting that learning how to clean the inside and outside of a car is often considered complementary to bodywork polishing training.

In most cases, the customer can choose between an automated wash or a manual wash, which they will then carry out themselves, using provided equipment and consumables (water, soap, etc.). Manual washing at a car wash is in the form of timed washing programs, with or without the addition of water additives. Generally, it is broken down into two distinct phases: pre-washing and washing. Pre-washing simply involves spraying the vehicle with water, with or without the addition of soap, while the actual washing is carried out using a high-pressure cleaner, preceded or followed by foam. The customer may have access to a brush with a low-pressure hot water jet built in, allowing them to directly attack persistent dirt. The arrangement of the brush and the length of the hoses usually allows them to complete a full tour of their vehicle. Often, a special program for washing wheels allows the dissolving of brake dust using a special product, which comes out of the same high-pressure cleaner used for washing, or a different jet. In this case, the product must be left for a few minutes before rinsing. Note that it is generally forbidden to use the washing brush to clean the rims (as it may damage and soil it with greasy and black products). A pre-rinse then removes traces of soapy foam. The wash ends with an optional program for spreading wax that fills the microscopic pores of the bodywork, preventing dirt from adhering. Once this application is carried out, a final rinse with demineralized water is essential. This can be done using a program that diffuses demineralized water, which leaves no traces on the bodywork, even if left to dry on its own (very useful to save you the chore of wiping, which becomes unnecessary). Washing the engine block allows you to present your vehicle for inspection, and sometimes requires the installation to be equipped with a wastewater treatment system. For the inspection, in theory, the engine block must have been washed, and it is also necessary to wash the vehicle's chassis, which can only be done using a lift. In addition, washing the roof of a motorhome is done using an elevated platform, so it is important to make sure beforehand that the car wash has the appropriate equipment.

For all the good reasons that we have already more or less mentioned so far, namely: taking advantage of the equipment, materials, and consumables (cleaning products) of a professional establishment. In this context, there will be no bad surprises, as you will use approved and standardized products that will not damage your car or peel off its paint. But that's not the only advantage of going to a dedicated establishment, and we will now list the other benefits you can get: - Fuel savings, as studies suggest that a clean vehicle consumes about 10% less fuel than a dirty car. Regularly washing your car in a car wash can save you substantial amounts of fuel, which is a significant advantage, especially if you drive to work every day. - Water savings, as washing your car at home on average consumes 300 liters, compared to only 150 to 170 liters for a car wash that uses rollers, and 50 to 60 liters for high-pressure jet wash stations. - Better paint durability over time, as all the dirt that accumulates on your car can eventually form a micro-layer and damage your paint. The same goes for bird droppings that can damage it (especially due to their acidity); the longer you leave this dirt layer, the harder it will be to clean. Moreover, it is necessary to know that some dirt can also penetrate small imperfections on your vehicle, such as scratches on your bodywork, which can then be challenging to remove. By washing your vehicle with a high-pressure jet, for example, you can access these hidden dirt spots and prevent moisture from causing rust stains on your beautiful car. - Greater safety on the road, as washing your car at a car wash from time to time allows you to clean the dirt lodged on your car's lights, windows, and mirrors. Understand that opting for regular cleaning is a good way to perform these safety checks.

Just like you, many drivers wonder when is the best time to wash their car. During winter when the de-icing salt, dirt, and moisture form a relatively corrosive and aggressive substance for the paint and body of their car? In this case, is it better to go to a car wash or wait for better weather and do nothing during winter? Let's be clear, the combination of anti-snow salt and moisture is extremely harmful to the car. It strongly promotes the appearance of rust spots here and there, and even though modern cars benefit from treatments and paints designed to resist, the problem remains and always remains the same in the long term. Moreover, when it comes to modern vehicles, you may not know, but salt and dirt can also affect the proper functioning of sensors and other driving assistance cameras. A dirty camera is inevitably the result of poor or almost zero visibility. At the same time, headlights and taillights also lose efficiency. Seeing and being seen are essential on the road. So, to answer the initial question, yes, it is essential to wash your car, especially in winter. The frequency of washing should depend on how often you use your vehicle, but also on the salting of the roads you travel. On another note, we want to warn you about washing your car when the temperature is very low. If we consider that negative temperatures do not pose too much of a problem, be careful if the mercury drops below -10°C. In this precise case, when the water from the car wash meets the frozen bodywork, a thermal shock will inevitably occur, and it is possible that this may damage the paint, especially if it is already damaged beforehand.

Don't worry, no matter where you are, the region or the department in which you find yourself, finding a car wash station should not be too difficult, as the country's territory network is very satisfactory. In short, whether you live in Berwick or in a less densely populated rural area, you are likely to find what you are looking for just a few kilometers from your home. To begin with, we advise you to ask your acquaintances, your relatives, and also to ask your colleagues at work. In case the word of mouth yields nothing, we then invite you to turn to the Internet, consulting a website like StarOfService, for example, which lists all the professionals in a particular field, depending on where you are conducting the search. In just a few clicks, the site will allow you to get the contact details of the car wash station of your choice, and you can even contact them straight away (if it is a station that keeps personnel nearby).

To begin, we wish to emphasize that your geographical location can have a relatively large impact on the prices you will find at a car wash. It should be understood that prices in Paris or in large metropolitan areas (such as Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, etc.) are inevitably higher than in a medium-sized city or a more remote village. Once that is clear, we will provide you with a range of prices for each service so that everything is perfectly transparent. We emphasize that the prices presented here are not binding, of course, but are based on an average of several hundred car washes across the entire metropolitan area. - A machine wash with brushes/rollers averages between 7 to 20 Euros. - A high-pressure washer wash averages between 6 to 15 Euros. - Structures that take care of everything for you cost an average of 30 to 130 Euros. Although the price is much higher, it must be recognized that the service is also much more comprehensive (removing bugs, cleaning doors and pillars, wiping down the interior with chamois or microfiber, shining the tires, adding interior fragrance, and buffing). - A professional cleaning service that comes to your home averages between 35 to 180 Euros. Sometimes, these companies offer to come to your home or workplace for complete cleanings without the use of water, which can be particularly environmentally friendly.

As we mentioned earlier when it was just a matter of finding a simple car wash, word of mouth can be relevant. This is also true when it comes to finding a quality professional whose talent is recognized and praised by their past clients. That's why, first of all, we advise you, once again, to start by asking around among your friends, family, and acquaintances, as they may know of a company that offers excellent services nearby. If this is not the case, don't worry! Use the internet and browse through certain professional listing sites such as StarOfService. There, you will find lists of professionals who operate in your area, as well as reviews and comments from clients who have used their services, providing valuable information. We strongly advise you to take the time to read through these reviews and comments, as they can be very useful in choosing the right provider or address. Once you have found what you need, check their availability or opening hours, and make sure that their prices correspond to what you have planned, or are willing to pay, and clearly state the deadlines you would like to meet for your prints (if you are using a professional who travels, for example). Check, for example, in case of a very tight deadline (which is often the case), that the professional is indeed able to guarantee you an impeccable result, and within the original price range. Finally, a piece of advice: be wary of professionals who agree to everything, or car wash stations that offer prices that defy all competition on the market; generally, this is not a good sign, and you could bitterly regret your choice.
