Mobile car wash & detailing that comes to the driveway

Where this signal comes from

Our read on the gapOpinion

The gap isn't washing cars — it's that almost nobody will come to you.

A fixed-site wash makes the customer drive to it; a mobile detailer removes that trip, and the trip is the product — the wash itself is the same. Startup is a pressure washer, a water tank and a vehicle to carry them.
