Time is the currency of fleet management. Every minute a vehicle spends being cleaned is a minute it’s not earning its keep. MMCC’s express waterless valet delivers a comprehensive exterior clean in 10–15 minutes per vehicle — a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.
Here’s what happens during those 10 minutes.
The Express Waterless Process
Minutes 0–2: Assessment and Preparation
The technician performs a rapid visual assessment:
- Soiling level determines product application rate
- Any fresh damage is noted for the condition report
- Appropriate microfibre cloths are selected and staged
Minutes 2–5: Upper Body Cleaning
Working from the roof down (gravity assists the cleaning process):
- Roof — spray and encapsulate, wipe with folded microfibre
- Bonnet — pre-treat any heavy deposits, spray and encapsulate
- Boot/tailgate — same process, fresh cloth face
Minutes 5–8: Lower Body and Details
- Doors and panels — spray, encapsulate, wipe panel by panel
- Bumpers and lower sections — heavier application for road grime
- Door shuts — quick detail of visible edges
- Fuel cap area — often neglected, always included
Minutes 8–10: Wheels, Glass, and Finishing
- Wheels — dedicated wheel cleaner for brake dust
- Tyres — quick dressing application
- Windows and mirrors — streak-free glass cleaner
- Final inspection — walk-around check for missed spots
After Service: Documentation
The 25-point inspection data is recorded digitally. Any new damage, unusual wear, or concerns are flagged in the Fleet Insight Platform report.
Why 10 Minutes Is Enough
Traditional washing takes 20–40 minutes per vehicle because water creates inefficiency:
- Rinsing before washing
- Washing
- Rinsing after washing
- Drying to prevent water spots
Waterless technology combines cleaning, lifting, and protection into a single step. There’s no pre-rinse, no post-rinse, and no drying stage. The process is fundamentally more efficient.
Quality in 10 Minutes?
A common concern: can a 10-minute service deliver adequate quality? The answer depends on the method:
| Method | Time per Vehicle | Result Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Automated roller wash | 5–8 minutes | Surface clean, potential paint damage |
| Hand wash (water) | 20–40 minutes | Good clean, water spot risk |
| MMCC express waterless | 10–15 minutes | Excellent clean, polymer protection layer |
The polymer encapsulation technology does the work — not extended scrubbing time. Professional technique and high-quality products mean each panel is cleaned in a single pass.
Fleet-Scale Efficiency
The express service is designed for fleet operations:
| Fleet Size | Approximate Service Time | Service Model |
|---|---|---|
| 5 vehicles | 1–1.5 hours | Single technician |
| 10 vehicles | 2–2.5 hours | Single technician |
| 20 vehicles | 2–3 hours | Two technicians |
| 50 vehicles | Half day | Team deployment |
A single technician can service 8–12 vehicles in a half-day visit. For larger fleets, MMCC deploys teams to reduce on-site time.
When Express Isn’t Enough
The express service is an exterior maintenance clean. For deeper requirements, the full and ultimate service tiers address:
- Interior cleaning — vacuuming, dashboard, seats, sanitisation
- Clay bar decontamination — removing bonded particles
- Ceramic protection — PureShield application or refresh
- Ozone treatment — molecular odour removal
- Paint correction — machine polishing for swirl marks
Most fleet programmes combine regular express valets (weekly or fortnightly) with periodic full or ultimate services (monthly or quarterly).
