Washing Your RV or Motorhome

Missouri roads are rough on big rigs. Between spring mud, summer bug splatter, and fall road debris, a motorhome can rack up serious grime before it ever hits a campground. Our XL self-serve bays give you the room and the pressure to tackle it all - without wrestling a garden hose in your driveway.

• Before you pull in: Fold in your extended side mirrors. Remove any bike racks, hitches, or exterior attachments that extend beyond the body of the vehicle. Close all vents, windows, and slideouts completely.

• Start with the Pre-Soak setting to dissolve road grime and bug protein before scrubbing
• Use the Foamy Brush attachment on the sidewalls - work top to bottom in sections
• Rinse with Spot-Free Rinse to prevent mineral deposit spotting on windows and trim
• Apply Clear Coat Protectant to protect painted surfaces from UV fading between trips
• Pay extra attention to the front cap and windshield where bug buildup is heaviest

• The RV Industry Association recommends washing your motorhome at least four times a year and more often if you're driving Missouri highways in summer bug season. Our open bay in Platte City is ideal for longer Class A coaches.

Washing Your Boat or Boat Trailer

Lake algae, fish residue, and freshwater mineral deposits don't just look bad — they can permanently etch fiberglass and corrode trailer metal if left untreated. Our self-serve bays are a quick and affordable stop between the lake and home. Heading home from Smithville Lake? Our Smithville locations are conviently located right off Hwy 169.

• Quick reminder: Many Missouri lakes and the Missouri Department of Conservation's Clean, Drain, Dry program recommend washing your boat and trailer after every outing to to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

• Remove all electronics, fish finders, and removable seat cushions before washing
• Use the Wheel & Tire Cleaner on trailer wheels to cut brake dust and road rust
• Use medium pressure on the fiberglass hull — avoid blasting directly at any caulked seams
• Rinse the trailer frame and tongue thoroughly to prevent corrosion from lake minerals and road salt
• Allow the boat drain plug to remain open so wash water exits the bilge completely

Washing Work Trucks, Trailers & Service Vehicles

Contractors, farmers, and fleet operators in Smithville, Platte City and the Northland KC area: we've got you covered with our Fleet Wash Program, which lets you run multiple vehicles through on a single account and receive one monthly statement. It's the cleanest solution for keeping your company vehicles presentable without the hassle of billing per wash.

• Remove trailer hitches, toolbox overhangs, or racks that protrude beyond the factory truck body
• Use the XL bay for any trailer or attached equipment over standard height
• The Pre-Soak setting is especially effective on construction mud, concrete splatter, and agricultural residue
• Finish with Clear Coat Protectant to keep fleet vehicles looking professional between jobs

Washing Your Motorcycle

Yes, motorcycles are welcome in our covered self-serve bays — and with a few simple precautions, you can get a showroom clean result safely. The key is low pressure and smart sequencing.

• Let the engine cool for at least 10–15 minutes before washing — thermal shock can warp components
• Plug your exhaust outlet to prevent water from entering the system
• Use low pressure only — never aim the wand directly at electrical connections, bearings, or air intakes
• Apply the degreaser setting to the engine case instead of soap and water
• Cover or avoid spraying any leather saddlebags or seats directly
• Finish with Spot-Free Rinse to eliminate water spots on chrome and painted fairings

• For more detailed guidance, the Motorcyclist Online washing guide covers proper technique for specific bike types.

Pro Tips That Apply to Every Vehicle

• We're open 24/7. All 3 locations run around the clock, so you can pull in after a weekend trip to Smithville Lake at 10 p.m. or tackle your fleet trucks before a 6 a.m. job site visit — no waiting, no scheduling.
• Go cashless. Every bay accepts credit and debit cards — no digging for quarters. Load a Pro Carwash gift card online and earn 20% rewards cash back every time you reload, making it the smartest way to wash a fleet or a frequently-used vehicle.
• Choose Unlimited. At Platte City, sign up for a Wash Club membership and enjoy perks such as FREE vaccuums and FREE self-service wash time. Wash Club App available on Google Play and App Store. Not only can you purchase a wash club membership using the app but you can manage automatic washes, self-service washes and vacuum stations directly from the app! No cash, cards or quarters needed.
• Use the full bay time wisely. Start with pre-soak on the dirtiest panels while you set up your brush and other supplies. Work top to bottom — roof, sides, undercarriage — so dirty runoff doesn't re-soil areas you've already cleaned.
• Undercarriage matters most. Missouri roads are salted hard every winter. Our wash menu includes rinse settings specifically designed to flush road salt from the undercarriage — the single most effective thing you can do to extend the life of any vehicle.

Your big rig deserves a pro wash.
