Self Service Car Wash

Even the fussiest of car enthusiasts will be comfortable using Cranbrook Car Wash’s manual bays. Blendco Systems soaps and Armor All wax get the job done every time, and our foam brush bristles are made of super-soft horse tail and camel mane hair. No synthetics in sight!

Blendco Systems has been providing the professional car wash industry with innovative car wash detergent solutions for more than 35 years, while Armor All has a reputation for excellence not only in Australia, but worldwide. The revolutionary polymer formula of Armor All Extreme Shine Wax forms a protective shield against the elements. The new technology not only protects, but actually repels dirt and grime. Since the elements can’t penetrate the invisible shield, they can be easily washed away.

The manual car wash bays operate on a pay-as-you-go system and accept cash or card. If you opt to use your card, the system will pre-authorise a limit of $15, with $5 of credit automatically available for use initially. When that $5 runs out the system will add another $1 worth of time, then another $1 worth until you either hit the stop button on the card reader or your $15 limit is reached.

We suggest you start with a tyre/ engine cleaner to de-grease your engine and clean your rims, followed by a pre-soak spray to break down any insects and bird or bat droppings. Use the high-pressure soap to remove grit, and the foam brush for that thorough but gentle scrub, then rinse off. Next, apply your Armor All Extreme Shine Wax and UV-protectant clear coat to prevent damage from North Queensland’s blazing sun. Finish with a spot-free rinse that will evaporate off your car leaving no chemical residue or water spots once dried.
