Motorists were seen queuing up at car wash stations across the Kingdom to take mud cakes off their vehicles.

“There has been a 50 per cent increase in business and many customers are preferring steam wash as it is the best for cars affected by dust storms.
“Our nanofoam washing is also popular among customers as it would bring extra shine on cars compared to normal washing,” he added.
A staff Esquire Car Wash in Riffa said the facility was earlier washing around 20 cars a day.
“After the dust storm, we are receiving close to 50 cars a day, between 8 am and 6 pm, the normal working hours.” He said the facility has enough workers to cope with a large number of customers.
According to him, it takes something between 30 and 40 minutes to perfectly wash a car.
‘The job is tough and we have to finish washing at best speeds. And most of the cars that are here now look like the ones landed straight after off-roading.”
A staff at Lazar Car Wash said the teams at the station are fully set to deal with a maximum number of cars after its business spiralled by nearly 50 per cent.
