Every industry changes over time, but the car wash industry, in particular, has seen many years of advancement in technology. How are modern washes superior, and what will the future hold for the industry? Here is a little bit of car wash innovation history combined with some trends to expect in the near future.
Advancements in Car Washing
As more and more households in the US began to have one or more cars, it became clear someone was going to have to wash them. Of course, handwashing was the original car wash. However, the industry kept up with the times, and the standard for many years became the wash bay.
At first, taking your car to the wash bay was much like taking your clothes to a laundry mat. You put coins in the machine to get the wash started. And you spent a good amount of time at the wash taking care of things yourself. Then, the automatic wash bay became the new standard.
Today, the express exterior car wash has become the industry standard. It is fast, cleans efficiently, minimizes the risk of damage to vehicles, and is better for the environment than washing a car in a driveway.
So, where is the future of the car wash industry heading?
The Express Exterior Wash Is the Car Wash King
First of all, the express exterior car wash isn’t going anywhere. People enjoy the convenience and the contactless payments. But that doesn’t mean the washes won’t continue to advance. Some of the main advancements now will include making the chemicals even safer for the environment, increasing water conservation even further, and enhancing how many vehicles the wash can effectively handle per hour.
In the meantime, you don’t have to worry about new construction becoming outdated anytime soon. The structure of the express exterior wash, using a tunnel with a conveyor system, is continuing to gain momentum. By the time your wash needs to upgrade or replace equipment, you should be able to benefit from the latest advancements without the major expense of a complete overhaul.
