The Ultimate Guide to Fleet & Truck Washing with Nerta South Africa
When it comes to keeping your fleet in pristine condition, professional truck and vehicle washing isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about preserving your assets, enhancing brand image, and maximising operational efficiency. At Nerta South Africa, we specialise in high-performance cleaning solutions that save time, reduce water usage, and deliver unbeatable results.
In this guide, we’ll dive into the best practices for fleet and truck washing, and how our star products—Active Diamond Foam, ATC 350, and ATC 200—can transform your washing routine.
Why Clean Fleets Matter
Fleet managers and logistics operators know that clean trucks:
- Boost your brand’s visibility on the road.
- Protect vehicle surfaces from grime, road salt, and industrial fallout.
- Improve safety by keeping windows, mirrors, and lights clean.
- Extend the lifespan of paintwork and parts by preventing corrosion.
With today’s rising fuel and maintenance costs, protecting your vehicle’s bodywork is more critical than ever. And that’s where Nerta’s touchless cleaning systems make all the difference.
