The Art of the Deep Clean: Mastering the Traditional Hand Wash for Lorries, Buses, and Heavy-Duty Fleets

The vast sides of a trailer or the smooth exterior of a luxury coach act as a moving billboard for the company. Because of this, the drying phase is just as important as the washing phase. In a traditional setup, large chamois leathers or oversized microfiber drying towels are used to prevent water spots. On a vehicle that is forty feet long, this is a team effort. Two or more workers may pull a large drying sheet across the flat panels to soak up the bulk of the water, followed by detailers who hand-wipe the drips from hinges, door handles, and rivets.
