Fleet and equipment washing is about more than appearance. Road film, diesel residue, hydraulic fluid, and construction debris accelerate corrosion on vehicle frames and equipment bodies. Regular washing extends service life, makes maintenance inspections more effective, and presents a professional image to clients and the public.
We wash commercial trucks, trailers, box trucks, service vans, construction equipment, and heavy machinery. Hot-water pressure washing with degreasing chemistry removes petroleum and road film that cold water can't touch. We come to your yard or staging area — no need to bring equipment to a wash facility.
What road film and petroleum do to a fleet over time
Road salt and petroleum residue are the primary corrosion accelerants on commercial vehicles in the Northeast. Salt migrates into seams, welds, and undercarriage components. Petroleum holds moisture against metal surfaces. Both processes are invisible until the damage is done.
Regular washing interrupts both. It also makes pre-trip inspections more effective — a clean vehicle shows fluid leaks, tire wear, and damage that a film-covered one hides. For fleets subject to DOT inspection, appearance is part of the compliance picture.
Signs it's time to schedule
- Road film and salt residue on vehicle exteriors
- Petroleum and grease buildup on undercarriage and wheel wells
- Diesel exhaust staining on trailer rear doors
- Construction debris on equipment bodies and undercarriage
- Rust beginning at seams and welds
- Fleet appearance inconsistent with company brand standards
How we do it
Fleet assessment
We assess vehicle types, contamination levels, and any surfaces requiring special handling before quoting.
Pre-soak and degreasing
Petroleum, grease, and road film pre-treated with degreasing solution. Hot-water application breaks down what cold water can't.
Pressure washing
Full exterior wash including wheel wells, undercarriage, and trailer interiors where specified.
Rinse and inspection
Final rinse and walk-around. Any damage or maintenance issues noted and reported to your fleet manager.
Where we work
WashLabs is based in Philadelphia and serves commercial properties across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. We travel for the right job — if you have a property outside our immediate area, reach out and we'll let you know if we can make it work.
Fleet & Equipment Washing questions
Do you come to our location?
Yes. We bring equipment to your yard, depot, or job site. No need to move your fleet to a wash facility.
Can you wash construction equipment?
Yes. Excavators, loaders, skid steers, and other heavy equipment are part of our fleet scope. Contamination levels are typically higher and require more aggressive degreasing chemistry.
How often should a commercial fleet be washed?
Most commercial fleets benefit from monthly washing during active season. Fleets operating in heavy salt environments during winter may need bi-weekly attention to prevent accelerated corrosion.
Do you serve fleets in NJ and DE?
Yes. We serve fleet and equipment washing across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.
