I wish he would have covered the numbers behind the cheap wash to the best wash. It's basically lights,few extra suds and a nickels worth of tire dressing

Automated car wash is THE business.

A hundred gallons of water?? I'm a detailer and use about 10-12 gallons max per car no way anyone uses 100 Gallons per wash at home

A guy at work said a new car wash opened by him and it was $25 for a wash. Insanity.

I'm glad this guy with a chain of car washes is doing well, but, I've never paid anyone to wash my car/cars. I take exception to the comment about the average homeowner using 100 gallons of water to wash a car. That is ridiculous and sounds like industry propaganda. Anyone using that much water is a fool who is letting the hose run on full blast while he twiddles around vacuuming the inside of the car. I use maybe 20 gallons to wash my Cadillac at home. I rarely use anything but water to wash it and a very light scrub with a soft mitt, if required. The whole process only takes a few minutes and is a chore I enjoy. And, I save energy by not having to drive a dozen miles round trip to a car wash. And, much of the run off water goes over to my landscaping and isn't wasted at all. I am 70 years old and plan to keep washing my own vehicle for as long as I am mobile....after which I probably won't even need a car much less an expensive wash job.

I balked at that 100 gallon figure as well. A bucket with soap, a rag, and a hose with a spray nozzle. I’d be surprised if I use 10 gallons.

That guy who washes his car every day needs to be told that he won’t get to own a second car if he keeps wasting his time like that.

🖐🖐 car washes haven’t changed since the 1980s for the most part. Cloth brushes used back then, little to no computers, and never once did I hear of car ‘pileups’ or windows down. Business is a basic service, not sophisticated as presented here.
