Hi everybody have you ever heard about cherry car wash , is a new mobile car wash that works with an android or os application. It is a car wash that comes to you and they charge like between 25 and 35 dollars. i just want to now how much you pay for a car wash there in the Usa please give me advices. i am from Panama in central america and i want to make something very similar to cherry car wash here but i cant charge 35 bucks because our minimun salary is 500 dolars and people gain less money here.

Or I could wash my car at home for a mere fraction of that. Or go to a self car-wash for $4 and use a pressure washer.

I'm sure their pricing is based on their costs and how many washes they can get per day. The price is reasonable, IMHO, but it would only be viable in a large population center.

$25 would pay for a hand wash plus tip at a few places around here. In that sense, it's competitive and arguably a fair deal. But Cherry doesn't have a franchise where I live.

The people who are going to use an app to get someone to come wash their car aren't making minimum. I would expect you could get a job at a detail shop, then invest in a truck and your own equipment and work in partnership with them as another level of service they could offer. I don't know that it would make sense to try to turn a profit at something like this starting from zero. I'm not saying it's not a good idea - if you already wash cars professionally it would be a reasonable step forward.

I dont want strangers touching my car

I have a friend who uses them to clean her Mercedes. A bit expensive but they do come to wherever you are & they did a pretty good job from what I saw.

Luckily you live in Bend, Oregon where the only strangers are people from out of town.

Lol, still, I'm with Sabre - no one gets to touch my car.

There are plenty of places that will come to your office and wash the car while you're at work, or come to your house, etc. For some people, $40 to have the car washed is cheaper than them doing it - depends on how they value their time.

If I was some jerkwad lawyer that made six figures and leased a new BMW-Buick for the badge every three years, I'd have a service keep it shiny so I could impress my materialistic date. I'd use the time to get a manicure - can't have dirt under my nails you know.

It sounds like a non-starter, if Panama is like other Central American places I've been to, then a shiny car is low on peoples lists of needs/wants. I would say figure out where all your rich people live, make friends with their domestic help and start there. Good luck.

I would never let someone wash my car, but it could appeal to many people. How a car is washed is a big grey area.

We have a hand car wash / detail center on one of the floors in my parking structure at work. $20 and it doesn't take any time from my day since they wash it while i work, it's very convenient.
