- LLLMar 27, 20252.0We pay for the $40 package but am not satisfied. They use to give out air fresheners now they don't. They DONT spray off the back of your vehicle when entering the car wash leaving the back of our truck dirty and untouched. Also the car wash leaves residue all over my mirrors which sprayed all down the side of my vehicle as we drove down Gratiot leaving pink residue. There is also no one to hand dry your vehicle. If you have a larger vehicle be CAUTIOUS of overhangs from the vacuums because the space is small leaving your vision very limited. I will say I do like the tire shine and chemicals they use in the car wash and how quick it is to get in and out. Location is great as well!

Frequently Asked Questions About Clean Express Auto Wash - South Gratiot
What can I expect?
We strive to provide the industry’s best, high-quality, and eco-friendly express wash experience available! After selecting your wash at our convenient payment kiosk, one of our experienced Crew Members will help guide you into our wash tunnel. We’ll ask you to put your car in neutral, and then simply sit back and enjoy your wash. At the end of the wash tunnel, during the drying cycle, an electronic sign will notify you when it is safe to put your car into Drive to exit the wash.
Are you a touchless car wash?
Our washes use the most state-of-the-art gentle wash material called EnviroSoft. It is a brushless (but not touchless) cleaning technology that cannot scratch or damage your car. Please feel free to ask our onsite staff any questions before you wash— we are happy to further explain our wash process!
What types of vehicles do you wash?
Our vehicle clearance is 7’2”. Our conveyor tracks support a tire width of up to 13.5 inches, and we cannot accept trucks with dual wheels or vehicles over 85 inches wide.

Do you recycle water?
We are proud to offer an environmentally friendly wash that saves 100+ gallons of water per wash vs. driveway washing. As a participating member of the WaterSavers® program, our wash process uses an on-demand timing system that profiles and measures your vehicle delivering water precisely to your vehicle's surface. Our wash water is then captured and routed into our extensive reclamation system. This system treats the water removing all solids and contaminates and redelivers to the vehicle. This system allows us to safely and effectively wash your vehicle with less than 20 gallons of fresh water.
