A significant generation gap was also noted in the story. Those surveyed between the ages of 21 and 35 preferred a commercial carwash, noting their busy lifestyles, boredom, and laziness as the reasons.

A spokesperson for Central Contacts said in the story, “I am surprised to see how many people do not wash their cars and prefer to pay to have it cleaned. It is interesting to see that the younger generation are more inclined to avoid washing their vehicles and it is rather disappointing to see."
