Hey everyone, it’s me, Soapy Joe.

Cruising through the car wash here takes about 2 minutes and 40 seconds from when you enter the tunnel of magic. That’s a tiny portion of your day, but I know it can feel like an eternity when you’ve got places to go and people to see. Here’s how I like to make the time fly:

You’ll make someone’s day. They don’t have to know that it took being locked in your car with soap and floppy squeegees all around for you to call them.

Meditate

Don’t worry, we’ll give the window a little tap if you’re still in your moment of Zen when it’s time to drive. Or, just sit back and watch the wash; it’s like meditating with your eyes open.

Jam Out

I mean more than sing along. Be a star. Everyone loves some car wash karaoke!
