Pre-Inspection Setup

Inspect the bay floor, entry, and work area for blocked access, trip hazards, parked equipment, or other obstructions that could affect the audit.
Confirm appropriate PPE is worn for the task, such as gloves, eye protection, and slip-resistant footwear, per site procedure and hazard assessment.
Verify eyewash, emergency shutoff, spill kit, and fire extinguisher access are clear and visible.
Check that floor drains, squeegees, mats, or other slip controls are in place and that standing water is not creating an unsafe condition.

Chemical Concentration and Labeling

Measure the active chemical concentration and compare it to the approved target range for the wash process.
Verify proportioning equipment, metering pumps, or dilution systems are functioning and set to the correct ratio.
Check that all containers are properly labeled with product identity and hazard information, and that lids or caps are secure.
Inspect storage for segregation of incompatible chemicals, leaks, damaged containers, and secondary containment where required.
Confirm SDS access is available to employees working in or near the wash bay.

Brush Condition and Cleaning Tools

Check for missing, bent, hardened, or excessively worn bristles that reduce cleaning effectiveness.
Verify brushes, pads, and wash media are not carrying grit, metal fragments, or other contaminants that could scratch vehicle surfaces.
Inspect hoses and fittings for leaks, cracks, kinks, or damaged connections that could affect wash performance or safety.
Confirm brushes, pads, and accessories are returned to assigned storage areas to prevent contamination and damage.

Wax Application and Finish

Confirm the correct product is used and that application method, dwell time, and coverage match the approved process.
Inspect the vehicle surface for uniform coverage, including hard-to-reach areas, with no obvious missed sections.
Check the finished surface for haze, streaks, overspray, or product buildup that indicates improper application or wipe-down.
Verify the product has not expired and is stored per manufacturer requirements to maintain performance.

Final Quality Inspection

Inspect the cab, trailer, wheels, and lower panels for remaining dirt, road film, grease, or salt residue.
Verify visibility surfaces are free of film, streaks, and residue that could affect safe vehicle operation.
Check for any wash-process damage, including scratches, broken trim, or hose/brush-related marks.
Indicate whether the vehicle must be rewashed or corrected before it can be released from the bay.
