Zerava has launched professional on-site vehicle care across Ocean Village, Southampton, working with MDL Marinas to make vehicle care more convenient for people who already work, park, live or spend time within the area.
Instead of asking customers to make a separate journey to a car wash, Zerava brings professional vehicle care to suitable parking locations while the vehicle is already there.
For employees, tenants, visitors, marina users and cruise passengers, that means one less task to fit into the day.
Vehicle care while your car is already parked
The idea behind Zerava is simple: professional vehicle care should fit around people's existing routines.
Across Ocean Village, customers can have their vehicle cared for while they continue with work, appointments, leisure or travel.
For employees and tenants, that can mean arriving for the working day and returning to a professionally cared-for vehicle later.
For visitors and marina users, the service can take place while they are already spending time within Ocean Village.
For cruise passengers parking at Ocean Way Car Park, it creates another opportunity: making useful use of the time their vehicle is already parked while they are away.
Car valeting for Southampton cruise parking customers
If you’re leaving your car at Ocean Way Car Park before heading off on a cruise, Zerava can take care of the exterior while you’re away.
You can pre-book the service before you travel, leave your car parked as normal, and return to a freshly cared-for exterior when your cruise is over.
Because the service is exterior-only, there’s no need to arrange access to the inside of the vehicle.
It’s a simple way to make use of the time your car is already parked, without having to fit in a separate car wash before you leave or after you return.

A practical service for employees and tenants
Zerava's Ocean Village service is not limited to Ocean Way.
Vehicle care can also be provided at suitable parking locations across Ocean Village for employees, tenants and organisations based within the area.
Vehicle care is normally another personal task that has to be fitted around work, evenings or weekends.
By providing the service where people already park during the working day, Zerava removes the need for an additional journey and waiting time.
For businesses and organisations within Ocean Village, this also creates the potential for professional vehicle care to become a useful workplace convenience and employee benefit.
The customer continues with their day while Zerava takes care of the vehicle.
Water-efficient vehicle care
Convenience is only one part of Zerava's approach.
Our exterior-care process does not require access to a customer's hose, outdoor tap or mains-water connection at the service location.
Each completed Zerava clean is estimated to save 150+ litres of water compared with a conventional professional vehicle-wash baseline.
The service is also delivered without conventional wash-water runoff at the parking location.
This makes the Zerava model particularly suited to workplaces, managed car parks and mixed-use developments where traditional hose-based vehicle washing can be difficult to integrate.

Working with MDL Marinas at Ocean Village
The Ocean Village rollout has been developed working with MDL Marinas and the Ocean Way team.
For Zerava, the opportunity is not simply about adding another location.
It is about making professional vehicle care more useful by delivering it around the time vehicles already spend parked.
Ocean Village brings together employees, tenants, residents, visitors, marina users and cruise-parking customers within the same wider destination, creating different ways for people to benefit from on-site vehicle care.
As the rollout develops, Zerava will continue to learn from customer uptake, repeat bookings, operational performance and measurable environmental impact.
Making parked time more useful
A vehicle may spend hours parked during a working day or several days parked while its owner is away on a cruise.
Zerava uses some of that otherwise unused time to provide a service customers would normally need to arrange separately.
That is the thinking behind our work at Ocean Village:
Professional vehicle care, delivered where the vehicle is already parked.
Convenient for customers. More efficient with time. Designed around a more water-conscious approach to vehicle care.
