Car cleaners are responsible for the complete cleaning of vehicles, starting with pre-washing and high-pressure cleaning and ending with polishing. They also clean engines, rims, tires, underbodies and vehicle interiors and maintain the vehicle paint with special wax. If new cars come directly from production, they remove the wax applied to the paint as transport protection. If necessary, vehicle care specialists also transfer the vehicles and carry out departure inspections. In doing so, they check the vehicles for operational readiness and damage, e.g. to the tires.
