Car Wash


Car Wash

Eric Morris
March 1, 2006

Everybody likes their car to be as good as new! That’s why car washes have sprung up like mushrooms in all parts of the country and have developed from traditional car wash methods to sophisticated pressure jet washes, where you clean your car without getting your hands wet!

Experts in the business have developed car wash technology as a replacement for the previously tedious maintenance work for automobiles. Professional car washing has a number of advantages over washing your car at home. Apart from addressing environmental concerns by using biodegradable raw materials and recycling waste water, professional car washes give a fine coat of wax and polish that give a superb finish to your car, thus increasing the resale value.

Professional car washes come in two types: soft cloth and touch free. The touch-free car wash uses high-pressure jet pumps that spray water, soap and foamers on to the vehicles, and cleans your car using a completely automated system. The soft-cloth or cloth-friction car washes obviously move soft cloth against the surface of the car and clean it using soap and water.

If you intend to start a car wash business, you need to do thorough groundwork and analyze various aspects in order to make your business profitable. Choosing the right equipment, system, and employees, of course, is always important in any business venture But apart from that, the area for your business has to be carefully selected, the type of system has to be determined after taking into consideration the living standards of the people in that area, and an easy and suitable location has to be selected to ensure good customer satisfaction. Running a car wash business requires careful daily planning to make profits. As people prefer getting their cars washes at a low price, the revenue per car decreases considerably. Also, rain and bad weather results in a shortage of clientele as consumers believe that cars will be dirty anyway for as long as the bad weather lasts.
