carwashes
Drive-through soap tunnels
Carwashes 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 where you spray your own car.
The new carwashes on the highway are always packed on weekends.
