Cleaning the bay

And that grime and dirt can be quite a bit, if you are dealing with a continuous stream of cars that want to be washed on a regular basis. It’s a good practice to have your bay cleaned on a regular basis, as the dirt can clog the washing equipment, which would mean a professional coming in to take a good look at it.
Flush systems

Clogging of any hose is not a good thing for the entire machine, and special attention needs to be given to areas where there is accumulation of dirt and grime.
Replacing worn out parts
Any equipment that touches the car will accumulate a lot of dirt. Sponges and car wash textiles, which may touch the car, during the process of a car wash are prone to accumulate dirt and grime, and needs to be changed on a regular basis. Hose and nozzles that work close to the car, too, need regular checks and washes to ensure they are not blocked or dirty. Leaving these unattended can lead to growth of moss or fungus that can damage your equipment.
