Tell me about your local car wash
A little informal survey.
Where? Full-serv/automatic/self-serve? Winter road grime, bugs, dust, all of the above?
What kind of car?

I live down several miles of gravel road, and rarely wash my truck. I figure all the grime forms a nice protective barrier.

Make of car does matter. If you have a '14 benz you might baby it more than an '92 subie wagon ski mobile with 200k miles. With a $60-70k car you might spend more per wash than someone with a less expensive ride.
Looking into where to expand the business in the west, where many of the maggot dentists live.

I'll give you an honest answer for market research.
Rarely washed but if so its Brown Bear or Elephant for me. The prior being auto, latter hybrid auto/mexicans. The only two places with an automated drive thru that can get all the shit off the wheels and whatever stuff they spray on it actually helps repel water and grime. s4 avant, rack on top, mirrors in, balls out.
advice:
make sure you get the wheels and maybe even undercarriage
dont skimp on shit dryers
change out your towels once in awhile so they dont pill and leave crap in your car

Self-service car wash right next to a highway. 8 quarters + a few miles at 70-75mph = done.

No subies with a roof box = some weird stuff.
We take basically anything up to 86" tall. Lifted trucks, roof boxes, work vans with utility bodies, etc.
Undercarriage option always available.

If I had the money and connections, I would open a topless car wash in Vegas.

You've got to be careful.
A shit car wash job can make a man break bad.
A cool/gimmicky sign is also very important.

I don't wash my car, but, when I did:
I pull up to the car wash. A little man walks up to my car. I give him $10. He tells me to pull forward. I lock into some kind of conveyor belt. The little man begins spraying my car with what I believe is soap. The conveyor belt moves my car underneath some gigantic wheels with wet rags attached. They pummel the fuck out of my car. Next, my car gets sprayed with more shit. Then, the car gets the living shit pounded out of it again by the big wheel rag things. After this abuse, water is sprayed at the car with high velocity. The conveyor moves. Wax is applied. Then, the conveyor moves me through two hudge fucking dryers, which don't really do anything at all. I exit the car wash. The little man comes running. He towel dries my car leaving streaks on everything.
Cliffs Notes: I pay ten bucks to have the shit beat out of my car, which is marginally cleaned. No boobs, asses, or any other perks are received."You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning".
