Through the tunnel
Four stages,eleven minutes.
-
01
Prewash
pH-neutral foam over the whole body, then a spray on the rocker panels and wheel wells, where road salt clings.
-
02
Closed-cell foam brushes
They hold no sand or grit: paint and protective films come out scratch-free.
-
03
Softened-water rinse
Limescale-free water that leaves no spots as it dries. Most of the tunnel's water is recovered and filtered.
-
04
Warm-air drying
Strong enough to blow the water out of mirrors and door handles before the cold freezes it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Beforeyou drive in.
Do I need an appointment?
Not for a wash: drive in, pick your package, leave clean. Detailing and ceramic coating are booked by phone.
Does the tunnel damage the paint?
The brushes are closed-cell foam and the soaps are pH-neutral. Convertibles and wrapped vehicles go through the hand-wash bay only.
It's raining tomorrow. Should I still wash?
Yes: your wash is guaranteed for 48 hours. Missed a spot? Come back and we rewash that section free of charge.
Is ceramic coating necessary?
Not always. On a ten-year-old car, a hand wax is often enough, and we tell you so before selling you anything.
How does the unlimited membership work?
As many L'Essentiel washes as you want, once a day, at the posted monthly price. Cancel anytime, at no charge.
