Clean for Delivery

A sold vehicle. The customer is usually already waiting in the showroom.

30–45MINUTES · TARGET TIME

Before you start

  • Inspect the vehicle. Report any damage before you begin.
  • Not pre-cleaned? It may need a PDI clean or full detail. Tell your manager right away — the delivery time is at risk.

Window stickers

  • New cars: put all window stickers in the glove compartment.
  • Used cars: throw all window stickers away.

Wet work

  1. Remove the window stickers (see above).
  2. Wheels: iron remover (C130). Scrub, rinse.
  3. Wheel wells: degreaser (F15), rinse, spray all-purpose dressing.
  4. Body: car wash soap (CH47 or M80), rinse.
  5. Dry with a chamois or drying towel.

Interior & exterior finish

  1. Vacuum the interior.
  2. Wipe down the dashboard and console.
  3. Put the floor mats in place.
  4. Windows inside and out.
  5. Remove glue residue — auto body solvent (M136).
  6. Spray wax the exterior.
  7. Tire shine (P90): pour on the applicator. Never spray.

Before you hand it over

  • Move the vehicle and check it in natural light.
  • Always bring a clean microfiber towel when you drive it to the delivery area.
