Quick start path

New to the bay? Follow this route from tutorial to first upgrades.

  1. 1

    Learn the bay controls

    Open the Controls page first so job menus, camera swaps, and tool pickup feel natural before timed work begins.

  2. 2

    Finish the tutorial loop

    Follow Getting Started and the Demo guide to complete trash pickup, foam rinse, and tire dressing without skipping deliveries.

  3. 3

    Buy foam and a washer early

    Use the Equipment guide, Online Store, and Tier List so your first delivery spend unlocks real bodywork cleaning instead of idle waiting.

  4. 4

    Chase tips, then expand

    Read Make Money Fast and Respect and XP, run the Tip Planner, then lease carefully via Properties on the Map.

  5. 5

    Plan shifts and track EA

    Use Day/Night Events for lighting and cards, bookmark Release Date, Roadmap, and Updates, and keep Official Links handy for Steam news.
