Car Wash Equipment

Equipment by job

• Car washing machines and pressure washers — Bosch home pressure washers for cars and bikes, and professional pressure washers for daily use in a wash bay.
• Steam cleaners — dry and wet steam for engine bays, interiors and low-water washing.
• Wet and dry vacuum cleaners — for interiors, carpet extraction and workshop clean-up.

Choosing for home or for business

At home, a compact pressure washer and a bucket wash cover almost everything; look for an adjustable or fan nozzle so you can keep pressure gentle on paint. A business needs duty cycle as much as pressure: a machine built to run for hours a day, serviceable, with parts available. Steam earns its place where water is limited and for interior sanitising.

Pair equipment with the right chemistry — a pressure washer with a car wash shampoo or foam lance, a steam cleaner with detailing cleaners. Starting a car wash? See the car wash business development kit.

Is a pressure washer safe for car paint?

Yes, used sensibly: a fan spray pattern, a sensible distance from the panel, and never a pinpoint jet on paint edges, badges or rubber seals.
