Run your own car wash

Car Wash & Detailing is a free 3D game where you run a hand car wash. Dirty cars line up on the road outside your bright blue bay, each driver wanting something different: a quick Basic wash, a Deluxe with a polish, or the Ultimate treatment with polish and shiny tyres. You wave the next car in, it rolls into the bay, and you get to work with a rack of real car wash tools.

Every car is covered in its own mix of mud, dust, bird droppings and road grime, and every bit of it washes off exactly where you aim. Walk around the car, crouch down to reach the wheels and sills, and climb up for a look at the roof.

Hose, foam, sponge, polish

The hose is your main tool: hold it on the car and watch the mud and dust stream away. Some dirt is more stubborn. Switch to foam and cover the car in fluffy white soap, then grab the sponge and scrub away the bugs, bird mess and oily grime. The sponge only works on soapy paint, just like the real thing.

For Deluxe and Ultimate customers the job isn't finished when the car is clean. Pick up the polish and rub it over the paintwork, and the car starts to gleam in the light. Ultimate customers also want tyre shine: click each of the four wheels and they turn a deep glossy black.

The job panel shows everything the package needs, with a bar for how clean the car is, a bar for how polished it is, and dots for the tyres. When you can't find the last bit of dirt, press Find and every spot that's left flashes bright pink.

Happy customers pay more

Customers don't like waiting. Each one has a patience bar in the queue, and if it runs out they drive off without a wash. Finish a car to its package, and fast, and you'll get the full price plus a tip. Hand it back half done and they'll only pay part of the price and tell you about it.

Upgrade your car wash

Every dollar you earn can go back into the business. A pressure hose cleans 50 percent faster, a foam cannon soaps the whole car in one go, a power buffer polishes twice as fast, a waiting lounge keeps customers patient for longer, and a neon sign brings more cars in. The biggest upgrade is a second bay with a helper, who takes the Basic washes from the queue and cleans them all on their own while you do the fancy jobs.

In Career mode each day runs from 9am to 7pm, and your money and upgrades are saved between days. Nine goals, like finishing your first Ultimate wash and getting a car 100 percent clean, each give a star, and stars unlock new car wash brands. Rush Hour gives you every tool and a long queue for five busy minutes, and Free Play lets you wash car after car with no pressure at all.

Frequently asked questions

Is Car Wash & Detailing free?

Yes. It is free to play in the browser with no download, no account and no in-game purchases. Your career is saved only in your own browser.

Why won't the sponge work?

The sponge needs soap. Pick the Foam tool and spray the car until it's white and bubbly, then switch back to the sponge. The foam cannon upgrade soaps the whole car in one go.

How do I polish a car?

Pick the Polish tool and rub it over paintwork that is already clean. The polish bar fills up and the car starts to shine. Polish doesn't stick to dirty paint, so wash first.

What is tyre shine?

Ultimate customers want glossy tyres. Pick the Tyre shine tool and click each of the four wheels once.

Why did a customer drive off?

Everyone in the queue has a patience bar. Work quickly, buy the waiting lounge so they wait longer, or open a second bay with a helper to take the Basic washes.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Hold your finger on the car to use a tool, use two fingers or the arrow buttons to walk around it, and tap the buttons in the panels.
