Top 2 Exterior Car Cleaning Requirements

With so many choices on the market today for exterior car cleaning equipment, it’s difficult for automotive businesses to decide what will give their cars the most powerful, cost-effective and fastest clean.

Firstly, it’s important to look at exactly what results you’re after. Are you after a complete detail? Is your exterior lacklustre? Do you require less water use?

Here are the top equipment requirements that you should be on the lookout for when purchasing car cleaning equipment.

Powerful steam vapour technology

Steam vapour isn’t a new technology. Industries such as accommodation and healthcare have been using these systems for decades. They use this process because it provides a “deep clean”. What is so fitting about this technology when it comes to car cleaning is the vapour quality.

Steam vapour gets deep within the pores of a car’s Duco, rather than just simply wiping the top of the surface. Steam at a high temperature also disintegrates grime and dirt within seconds.

However, be cautious. Some products claim to be steam-operated machines, however, they merely produce a water spray.

Don’t forget about the engine bay

Cleaning of the duco, mirrors and wheels is an important exterior cleaning application on a vehicle. But don’t forget about the engine bay.

Engine bays are known for being one of the toughest areas of a car to clean due to the build-up of oil and grease it accumulates. To provide a fast and effective engine bay clean, you not only need superheated steam vapour equipment, but you also need the right car cleaning tools and process.

Look out for car cleaning equipment that comes with a steam lance attachment to powerfully blast engine bays with steam. Remember to start from the top down, as gravity will allow the dirt to fall, making the last step an easy spray and wipe action with steam and a microfibre cloth.
