High Tech Clean From Autec Carwash

By Matthew Hughes


As our cars get more and more high tech, one has to wonder what the original designers would make of it. The gasoline engine has changed very little in a century, but the systems and additional electronic parts have taken the driving experience to new levels. Lucky for everyone, the technology advancements at Autec Carwash are keeping up.

Washing a car when they first came into the American experience was like polishing furniture that sometimes moved at 25 mph, and attracted grime no sofa could ever know. These early carriages had no roof, and much of the internal engine was fairly exposed and risked rusting from all moisture exposure. If that car was not cleaned on a daily basis and stored indoors, it was not likely to last very long or run very well.

As more metal and less leather came into the manufacture of autos, cleaning the car was more of a hose in the driveway sort of chore. By then, people generally had running water, and so this was a possibility. There really is no way an American teenager has never been promised a five spot for washing the parent transport carriage.

Car washing has often been the task of pre-teens and teenagers. Some smart girl somewhere decided to put on a bikini and hold out a sign to wash cars for money, and the men roll in for an almost innocent show of soapy playful girls. These kids make enough money during such fund raisers to fly entire classrooms to European destinations.

The 1970s introduced a different approach to washing automobiles. Someone had the bright idea to put huge brushes on rollers inside a windowed room that sprayed soapy water from above. People could simply drive through this rough and tumble zone, come out with a shiny new clean on their hood, and scare the life out of their toddlers all at the same time.

Washes were part of gas stations, and they could promote laziness in teens while also making an extra dollar for every customer. There were still attendants at the pumps then, and they pimped dollar washes like fast food pimps fries. But time did reveal, original designs did not take into account every vehicle size or shape, and this resulted in mayhem followed by rapid redesign.

The most common, sedan style of auto was safe from anything but micro scratches. These came as a result of the frightening speed and power that wet towels could achieve on a giant rolling mechanism. However, the big Econo van with shag carpet, an 8-track player, and a CB radio in back was likely to be scratched or a side mirror cracked.

Teen reality burned as they discovered that the most painful vehicle to wash was the very one that would never fit in the dollar drive through. Their days of not washing cars in the yard almost ended, but they were spared by advancement into touch/brush/scratch-free systems. Teens now get better pay at full service detailing jobs while some unnamed genius threw in the towel for water jets.
