A car wash is a facility used to clean the exterior and, in some cases, the interior of motor vehicles. While there are many different types of car washes, most in the US fall into three main categories:
- Self-service facilities, that are generally coin-operated, where the customer does the washing
- In-bay automatics, which consist of an automatic machine that rolls back and forth over a stationary vehicle - often seen in service station washes
- Tunnel washes, which use a conveyor to move the vehicle through a series of fixed cleaning mechanisms.
Mechanized car washes, especially those with brushes, were once avoided by some meticulous car owners because of the risk of damaging the finish. Paint finishes have improved as have car washing processes, and this perception of vehicle damage is much less today. It was, however, the motivation behind the rise of the "brushless" (cloth), "touch-free" (high-pressure water), and most recently, brushes which are made of closed cell foam, car wash facility.
In a modern car wash facility, whether automatic, in-bay automatic or self-serve, soaps and other cleaning solutions used are based on milder acids and alkalies designed to loosen and eliminate dirt and grime. This is in contrast to earlier times, when hydrofluoric acid, a hazardous chemical, was commonly used as a cleaning agent in the industry. There has been a strong move in the industry to shift to safer cleaning solutions. Most car wash facilities are required by law to treat and/or reuse their water and may be required to maintain waste-water discharge permits, in contrast to unregulated facilities or even driveway washing where waste-water can end up in the storm drain and, eventually, in streams, rivers and lakes.
