Using Car Wash: A Sure Time Saver
Posted 04/22/09
There was a time when washing cars was a time consuming and boring activity. For those who could not bear to indulge in this work, the neighborhood odd job man or the automated car wash was the answer. These options did not yield satisfactory results as the odd job man worked at the task as an 'odd job' while the early car washes caused more damage to the car paint because of the use of stiff brushes. Car washes since those early contraptions of the 1950s have evolved significantly. You have self service coin operated, 'in bay or tunnel washes as the basic options to choose from. The brushes are better and gentler on your car skins and the detergents used are not as corrosive. In a self service car wash the driver pays for using the service by putting money in a slot machine. In this form of car wash, the amount of coins inserted in the slot machine limits the time that each driver can use a particular appliance which he has to personally use. In the 'In bay' variety, the car remains stationery and the brushes, jets and dryers move over the car. A tunnel system incorporates a moving conveyor belt on which the car remains stationery with fixed appliances mounted on either side of the belt doing the job.
A sure hit are Bikini Car washes, which appeal to every red blooded male's vicarious self. Bikini clad girls do their thing and wash the cars for your viewing pleasure, a sure fire financial success. Hollywood played an important part in popularizing this 'art form' through the movie 'Bikini Carwash Company'. Bikini carwash events are also organized to raise funds for a social cause. Indeed car wash has come a long way in its evolution from a stand alone activity to a community fundraiser event.
