A car wash is a facility designed to clean the exterior and sometimes the interior of vehicles. It typically uses water, soap, and various cleaning agents to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants from the car's surface. Car washes can be automatic, where vehicles move through a series of cleaning stations, or manual, where workers wash the car by hand. Many car washes offer additional services, such as waxing, tire cleaning, and interior vacuuming. Some also provide detailing services, which involve a thorough cleaning and restoration of the vehicle's interior and exterior. Regular visits to a car wash can help maintain a car's appearance and protect its paint.
