car washes

Drive-through soap tunnels

Car washes are facilities where vehicles are cleaned, either by automated machinery or by hand.

The term covers everything from drive-through tunnels with spinning brushes to self-service bays with pressure hoses to full-service operations where attendants do the work: I need to hit the car wash before the wedding.

Car washes also appear as fundraising events, typically staffed by volunteers with buckets and sponges.
