Hand Washed, Not Rushed: Why Attention to Detail Starts with the Right Touch
At The Truck Wash, we believe clean should never mean careless. Whether you're rolling into Idaho Falls behind the wheel of a long-haul rig or prepping your RV for a road trip, the condition of your vehicle says a lot about your standards. And if you ask us, nothing beats the results of a professional hand wash when it comes to preserving your equipment, protecting your investment, and showing pride in every mile you drive.
Why Hand Washing Matters More Than Ever
These days, automated washes are everywhere. They're quick, inexpensive, and easy to find. But that doesn't mean they're the right choice—especially for commercial drivers, fleet managers, or RV owners who rely on their vehicles to perform day in and day out. When your truck or trailer is blasted with harsh chemicals and spinning brushes, there’s always a risk of overlooked grime, surface damage, or incomplete rinsing. That kind of rinse-and-run job simply doesn't cut it for our customers.
With a professional hand washing approach, we ensure every inch of your vehicle is cleaned with purpose. Our trained team doesn’t just scrub and spray—we inspect, assess, and clean with care, using the right pressure, products, and process for every surface. We catch what machines miss. We protect what machines can’t.
And most importantly, we do it all without rushing.
Truck and Trailer Washing With Real Results
One of the biggest advantages of our truck & trailer washing service is that it gives us the chance to spot issues before they become problems. While we clean, we’re also checking for signs of wear, buildup, or corrosion. Grease around fifth wheels, brake dust near the axles, road salt under the fenders—it all gets addressed. Not because it makes the rig look better (though it does), but because a cleaner truck runs cooler, lasts longer, and looks more professional out on the road.
And for fleet managers? It reinforces your brand reputation while reducing long-term maintenance costs. That’s the kind of value we believe in.
RV and Tour Bus Washing That Feels Like Care
Your RV isn't just a vehicle—it's your mobile home. And when you're prepping for a big trip or returning from one, the last thing you want is to hand it over to an automated wash that treats it like a city bus. Our RV/motor coach & tour bus washing service gives your coach the respect it deserves. We gently but thoroughly clean exterior surfaces, windows, mirrors, rooflines, and storage compartments to restore shine and remove buildup from bugs, dust, and road grime.
The result? A rig that looks sharp, performs better, and feels fresh from the start of your next adventure.
Degreasing That Cuts Through the Buildup
Some messes require more than a rinse. Grease, oil, fuel residue, and industrial grime can cling to undercarriages, engines, and wheel wells in ways that standard cleaning won't fix. That’s why our degreasing services go deeper. With high-performance degreasers and specialized application tools, we cut through buildup to clean at the source—helping your vehicle operate more efficiently and avoid costly damage.
Whether it’s part of routine maintenance or a much-needed deep clean, degreasing helps protect the components that keep you rolling.
The Value of Full-Service Truck Detailing
Hand washing is just the beginning. For customers who want to keep their truck, trailer, or coach in peak condition, our truck detailing services offer the next level of care. We deep clean interiors and polish exteriors, remove stubborn stains and odors, and take care of hard-to-reach areas that typical washes ignore.
From restoring shine to protecting against corrosion, detailing isn’t just about looks—it’s about lifespan. When your equipment works hard for you, it deserves more than just a surface clean.
Smells, Service, and the Stuff That Sets Us Apart
Cleanliness doesn’t stop at the exterior. When you pull into The Truck Wash, you're not just getting a hand wash. You're gaining access to Chippewa air fresheners, 24/7 washout service, and a full range of driver amenities to make your stop more productive and more comfortable.

Our team brings experience, consistency, and care to every job, from solo drivers to commercial fleets. We never rush a wash. We don’t cut corners. And we never settle for "good enough."
If you care about keeping your equipment in top condition, if you want a wash that does more than just rinse the surface, if you’re looking for a partner in the long-term health and value of your vehicle—then you’re in the right place.
