What would everyone's ideal car wash be if you had to design it?
For example, I would choose to wash my truck in a coin-op self service bay. As soon as I started entering the wash, I would get the undercarriage flush treatment. Then it would be the typical washing cycle using the high pressure wand to get everything out of the wheel wells and the wheels and so on. Then after that was all done, there would be a hand held blower where you could "blow dry" the vehicle yourself. It wouldn't be as powerful as the automated dryer and therefore less likely to do any damage. Plus you can control it, thereby getting more water off the truck by getting into window channels and crevices.
Probably will never happen, but I think it would be a good start for a new kind of car wash.
