There are several choices for the level of cleaning, and you can sign up for a monthly subscription which is the cost of two washes, so if you plan on washing your car weekly, this may be a good option. The subscription is tied to the car's license plate and is read by the computer when you come in. I chose the highest level since I had a lot of bugs on the front from a road trip. It was an easy process. Just drive up to the track where someone will guide you in and spray your car with a pre-wash. Then put your car in neutral and make sure the parking brake is off. You'll be guided through all the different sprays and brushes. Then you'll have high speed air dry off your car. This gets about 97+% of the water off your car. I suggest you bring a couple microfiber towels if you want the car to be perfectly dry. Once the car is air dried, you are told to drive through and you can continue to the free vacuums where you have a choice of a flat carpet nozzle or a crevasse tool. They have great suction and if you accidentally vacuum something that shouldn't have been vacuumed, there is a basket that you can access to get whatever it was out. All in all, I'd say it was fast and efficient. Most of the bugs came off the car (it was a cross country road trip, so the quantity of bugs was high and they were dried on quite well), more than I would have expected, so it was a success. The car looks nice and clean. What more could you want from a DIY wash?
