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.
Someone decided that children had been playful scrubbers long enough, and the drive through car wash was born. Those towels on rollers were at least as mediocre at cleaning a car as any 10 year old had ever aspired to be. Not only that, but they were loud, scary, shook the car, and traumatized toddlers into fits of laughter and tears that combined into glee with a hint of terror.
These first automatic drive through establishments were built at filling stations as an addendum to gasoline purchases. They did not perform without error right off the drawing board. In fact, the first extremely unanticipated flaw revealed itself when the arms controlling those huge brushes were shown to be designed for a particular size of vehicle.
Sedans were the most popular auto style in that day, and was the style of car that pretty much all of the drive through car baths were designed for. Those big rollers spinning at high speeds were apt to damage little cars if they did not position it just right in the wash. Worse, the full sized vans were doomed when the metal arm came down to discover there was no room for it to maneuver, and no mechanism to spring back away from the vehicle.
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.
