BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — In past editions of Carwash eNews¸ we have followed the success of one waterless carwash operated by University of North Carolina (UNC) students. You can find one example of past coverage here.
Waterless Buddy’s uses a water-free, environmentally friendly product containing a wash-wax sealant formula, which enables the carwash employees, known as Buddy’s, to remove grime from a vehicle using a microfiber towel.
In this week’s video, featured on WNCN’s website, www.wncn.com, Austin Helms and Randy Short, two UNC seniors who run the on-demand carwash, explain how their successful operation works.
“[Customers] hit ‘schedule a wash,’ [and then] they tell us where they are, what [cars] they have, their license plate [numbers], things like that. They can pay right online, and then one of our Buddy’s goes out, [he or she washes] the car exactly where [the customer] parked,” said Short, who is the chief financial buddy, in the video. “We send you a before and after picture, and it’s as easy as that.”
In the article accompanying the video, Helms described Waterless Buddy’s as an “Uber for carwashing.”
