Coronavirus update:
We’ll begin resuming operations on May 4, 2020. Due to safety restrictions from Contra Costa County and the State of California, vacuums will be temporarily closed. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have them available soon.
Thank you for understanding and stay safe out there!
Isn’t a Hand Wash Safer?
Not really. Nothing is 100% safe but when we hand wash our cars at home or at a hand car wash, dirt from one end of the car accumulates on sponges or towels and act as a fine sandpaper (the sandpaper effect) on the rest of the car. If it’s a really dirty, we increase the pressure or scrub really hard on a stubborn spot.
Ever notice cars with a swirling or circular pattern on their paint? Tell-tale signs of the circular motions our hands make when washing alongside a car.
Many people also use ordinary dish washing soap which is not recommended for vehicle paint surfaces. It’s very difficult to rinse off and it’s residue ends up drying into paint surfaces leaving them dull. We use Zep’s Blue Coral Beyond Green products engineered specifically for vehicle paint finishes. Water is also constantly sprayed during the wash process to keep your car lubricated. We also apply a wax in the final rinse of every car wash. It helps bead water allowing us to dry your vehicle faster and provides a nice shine and protection on vehicle surfaces.
We’ve Always Been Green…
We are Blue Coral Beyond Green certified which makes us compliant with the strictest regulatory standards across America. Becoming part of the program means going the extra mile and taking conscious steps toward minimizing our impact on our environment. It means doing the right thing because it’s environmentally correct while delivering exceptionally clean and shiny vehicles. The small change you make by using a Blue Coral® Beyond Green car wash has a big and positive impact on our environment.
Also, our wastewater gets treated. 100% of the dirty water from the car wash goes to a wastewater treatment plant where pollutants are removed. If you wash your vehicle in the driveway, the dirty water and chemicals end up in our Bays via storm drains. That includes brake dust, road grime, and oil.
Let’s Conserve Water
Did you know that a typical driveway car wash uses 3 times more fresh water than an automatic car wash? We only use fresh water in the final rinse of your vehicle. During the wash process, your car is constantly sprayed with recycled water captured by our reclaim system. Whether you wash with us or another car wash, know that you are helping everyone by conserving water.
