How It Works

Every Express Wash is a multi-stage process not just a rinse.

1

Pre-Soak & High-Pressure Soap

Rich foaming soap applied under high pressure — breaks down road grime, brake dust, and contaminants before the main wash begins.

2

High-Pressure Rinse

Powerful jets rinse loosened dirt from every angle, including wheel wells and lower panels.

3

Paint-Safe Soft-Touch Wash

Soft-touch automated equipment gently cleans the full exterior. Safe on all paint finishes, clear coats, and wraps.

4

Spot-Free Rinse

Purified, mineral-free water prevents water spots — leaving a clean, clear finish.

5

High-Powered Dryer

Powerful blowers remove water so you pull out dry, not dripping.

Free Self-Service Vacuums

Clean the inside while the outside dries. Free for every Express Wash customer - no extra charge.

Make It Your Own

Optional Add-Ons

Select at the kiosk before you pull in.

SpotXOur reverse osmosis process that creates a spot free rinse in the tunnel. This is the last arch just before the blowers to ensure that your vehicle will be spot free.
CeramaXA tunnel wash ceramic coating is a liquid polymer containing silicon dioxide that’s sprayed onto the vehicle during the final rinse or dry cycle that makes water bead and roll off more easily, giving the paint a glossy, freshly waxed look.
GrapheXGraphene’s high thermal conductivity disperses heat more effectively, reducing water spotting and making it easier to maintain a clean surface in hot or mineral-heavy climates.
SaltXA concentrated solution applied to the underbody of the vehicle, which helps neutralize the harmful effects of salt.
Tire ShineProvides a long-lasting shine to the tire, while also protecting the tire surface from UV light. Our tire shine is specially formulated to reduce sling onto the car to avoid those grease marks after washing.
Undercarriage WashA pressure blaster designed to spray the underbody of the vehicle to help remove stubborn salt and sand from the underbody.
Wheel CleanerFast penetrating solution that helps loosen and wash away dirt, grime, and even hard to remove brake dust without endangering your wheels.
Triple Foam PolishA multi colored foam polymer-based soap that gets deep into the clearcoat to clean out any contaminants and preps the car for online waxes like Graphex and CeramaX.
