Carpet Mat Cleaners
Deep-clean fabric floor mats using the mat cleaner stations. Insert your mat and run through the cycle to remove embedded dirt, pet hair, mud, and debris that vacuums alone leave behind.
Glass Cleaner and Towels
Complimentary glass cleaner and microfiber towels for interior and exterior window cleaning. Use for nose prints, interior smudges, and any water spots that remain after the tunnel.
Tire Shine Spreaders
Tire shine is applied automatically in the tunnel. Tire shine spreaders are available at the stations to smooth and even the finish on your tires for a more consistent appearance after your wash.
Air Fresheners
Complimentary air fresheners available at most locations while supplies last. Best used after interior cleanup is complete.
Shammy Dry
Absorbent shammy cloths for hand-drying your vehicle after the tunnel at participating locations. Useful for any remaining water spots or areas that did not fully dry in the tunnel's blow-dry section.
Rubber Mat Cleaning Station
Power-wash rubber floor mats using the dedicated rubber mat station. Rubber mats accumulate mud, sand, pet hair, and debris that vacuums do not fully remove. The station uses pressurized water to blast buildup from the mat surface. Particularly useful after trail visits, muddy sports fields, and beach or lake trips.
Air Detailers
Compressed air tools for blowing debris from vents, between seat crevices, cup holders, console areas, and tight spaces that vacuums cannot reach. Especially useful for pet hair in seat seams and turf pellets from sports fields.
Windshield Washer Fluid
Complimentary windshield washer fluid top-off at select locations.
24-Hour Access — Chester and North Chesterfield
Two Flagstop locations are open 24 hours. Self-service amenities are available during all operating hours at these locations.
How to Use the Self-Service Stations
-
Exit the tunnel and pull into any open self-service station. Pull forward until you are clear of the tunnel exit.
-
Start with the vacuum. Remove loose debris, pet hair, and dirt from all interior surfaces before using glass cleaner or towels.
-
Clean fabric floor mats using the carpet mat cleaner if available. Hold the mat against the machine for a full cycle.
-
For rubber mats, take them to the rubber mat cleaning station if your location has one. Power washing and all-purpose cleaner removes buildup that vacuums and hand cleaning miss.
-
Use glass cleaner and towels on interior windows after vacuuming to avoid spreading dust back onto clean glass.
-
Apply tire shine spreader to your tires to even out the finish applied in the tunnel.
-
Finish with air freshener if available. Best used after interior cleanup is complete.
-
Use the air detailer if available for vents, console crevices, and seat seams that vacuums cannot reach.
