What is a in-bay automatic?

An in-bay automatic wash is the kind where you pull into a single bay, put the car in neutral, and the equipment moves around the stationary vehicle. Many are touchless (high-pressure water and chemistry, no brushes); others use soft cloth.

In-bay automatic is for convenience: it's the format you'll find bolted onto gas stations and c-stores, ideal for a quick hands-off wash, and — in touchless form — the gentlest option for delicate or freshly-coated paint.
