Welcome to our Self Serve Car Wash

Did you know………?

…At Washworld Te Rapa we have seven drive through car washing bays? Offering you a range of self serve wash options.

Wash bays
All Wash bays are equipped with high pressure water blaster 'guns' with a range of chemical cleaning and finishing options and purpose designed foaming brushes. All equipment is easy to use and can be used for cleaning not only vehicles but anything mobile and able to fit within a bay... boats, caravans, trailers, motorbikes, bbq.

Note Changer Machine
the two on-site note changers are programmed to change NZ $5, $10 and $20 into $1 and $2 coins. All wash bays and vacuums accept NZ $1 and $2 coins.

Step 2: Low Pressure Pre-Soak
Pre-soak is a more concentrated soap mixed with warm water to attack hard to shift dirt (such as bird droppings or bug splatter).

Step 3: Tyre & Engine cleaner
Tyre and engine cleaner is a strong chemical de-greaser which breaks down grease, oil and dust caked on your engine. It also breaks down road grime and brake dust on mag wheels and tyres.
Apply engine and tyre cleaner, then rinse off with high pressure soap or rinse functions.

Step 4: High Pressure Soap
High pressure soap (more water, with less soap) is for general dirt, dust and mud/lime. Squeeze the trigger on the waterblaster gun to get high pressure.

Step 5: Foaming Brush
Foaming brush is a purpose designed brush with a 'long-reach' handle which makes cleaning rooftops, vans or larger vehicles easy. Always rinse the brush before use!

Step 6: Rinse
Rinse off the vehicle with high pressure water, work from the top of the car down.

Step 7: Wax
Spray all painted surfaces with the wax using high pressure (squeeze the trigger).

Step 8: Spot Free Rinse
Spraying the entire vehicle with 'spot free rinse' purified water gives a finish free of 'water spots'. This is especially good for new or dark coloured vehicles.

Vacuum:
All vacuums have powerful twin motors which give extra suction with wide nozzles to make vacuuming quick and easy.

Shampoo and Fragrance Vacuum
A combination vacuum/shampoo machine is available to help clean carpets and upholstery.
A combination vacuum/fragrance machine is available to provide a scented fragrance and freshener for vehicle interiors.

The Self-Serve Car Wash bays are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have a note-changer on site. The units accept both $1 and $2 coins, as well as tokens (can be bought on site through our vending machine)
