For instance, the article continued, at Germantown Auto Spa in Montgomery County, Maryland, at least 500 people washed their cars on Saturday.
Marketing Director Cheryl Hanes and Manager Zach Grimnes had to direct traffic outside due to the heavy numbers, the article noted; the line of cars even wound around the adjacent gas station.
“It was fantastic; the perfect storm of events created it,” Grimnes said.
At 5 p.m. that day, the wait was around half an hour from start to finish, the article stated.
