Day-to-day operating brief

What Car Valeter work looks like in practice

A Car Valeter cleans and finishes customer, dealership, rental or fleet vehicles. The work involves vehicle keys, pre-existing condition, personal property, water and electrical equipment, chemicals and sometimes limited vehicle movement. Terms should state sites, driving authority, licence checks, productivity and quality measures, damage reporting, customer contact and responsibility for tools or mobile work. Vehicle custody begins when the key is accepted, not when washing starts. A dependable process connects key identity, parking bay, mileage, fuel or charge condition and final return so movement cannot become an untraceable gap. Electric vehicles also require clear charging-port, cable and powered-system precautions during wet exterior work.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Inspect vehicles before starting work.
  • Complete approved interior and exterior services.
  • Use chemicals pressure washers and vacuums safely.
