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

Fuel tanks on lorries, often made of aluminum, are a focal point of a traditional hand wash. These tanks are frequently subjected to fuel spills and road salt, which can dull the metal over time. A dedicated hand wash service will spend extra time degreasing these tanks and, in some cases, applying a protective wax or spray to help them shine. This level of care is a hallmark of the traditional method, emphasizing the "craft" of vehicle maintenance over the speed of a machine-based system.
