The 3 Essential Car Wash Materials You Need for Washing a Car at a Car Wash

Keeping your car clean is quick and convenient when you visit your local self-serve car wash. You don’t have to worry about hot water, car wash soap, or having the right nozzle and brush to wash your car, tires, and wheels. Yet, there are 3 essential car wash materials you should have to make washing your car easier.

1. Car Wash Bucket

A car wash bucket is a must-have item so you can fill it with soapy water and tackle difficult dirt, dust, and debris. While the high-pressure water does help get most dirt off the vehicle, you will still want to hand wash the vehicle to ensure every bit of grime has been removed.

 You also need a car wash bucket to clean the tires and wheels. The spray nozzle and car wash brush can’t reach in between every little spot to remove brake dust. Plus, having a car wash bucket makes it easy to store all of your other car wash supplies and materials and keep these in your trunk!

2. Car Wash Microfiber Towels and Sponges

You will want plenty of microfiber towels and sponges for hand washing and detailing. The sponges are great for washing the vehicle around wheel wheels, tires, and wheels. For more complex wheel designs, a microfiber towel allows you to reach all areas.

Microfiber towels also help when it comes time to dry the car, by removing excess water to avoid water spots. You want to make sure to dry off the car and wheels with microfiber towels before you do any detailing.

3. Car Detailing Products 

Car detailing products are another must-have you want to have when washing your car. After it is dry, you will want to apply spray wax to the entire car and buff it off for a perfect shine. Most spray waxes can also be used on your wheels to make them sparkle.

You will also want tire foam or tire protectant, so your tires look sharp and just as good as the rest of the exterior. Don’t forget about interior car detailing products too, like Armor All Original Protectant, leather wipes, glass cleaning wipes, and so on.

Tips for Car Wash Owners for Offering These 3 Essential Car Wash Materials

To make sure your customers have access to the essential car wash materials and car cleaning accessories they need, you should have vending machines installed at your car wash. There are all sorts of different vending machines available.

When you want to provide access to the best car wash supplies, you want a larger machine that can accommodate a wide array of products. Full-sized vending machines are also better at accommodating full-sized products.

If you have an attendant onsite at various hours, another option to supplement your vending sales is to sell items out of a small onsite store.
