The climate conditions in the Middle East make more frequent car care necessary than elsewhere. In the past, manual car wash was popular, however, the rising cost of manual labour and tightening of the labour laws continually increase the demand for automated car washing systems. Filling stations in the UAE are now reaching the highest international standards, with a focus on environmentally friendly technology and waste water management.
