An Epic Weekend Recap

 
 

Two sold-out tours. One unforgettable day. WCA members hit the road in Las Vegas for a deep dive into the future of car washing—and they weren’t disappointed. From sleek, high-volume express tunnels to the latest in in-bay automatic innovation, every stop delivered fresh ideas, standout setups, and plenty of inspiration.


The express wash tour brought attendees to LUV, WOW, and BLU—each site showing off unique strengths in design, efficiency, and customer experience. From colorful, high-capacity tunnels to fully retractable brush-free wash options, these stops offered a bold look at what modern operations can achieve.

Simultaneously, a second tour explored the in-bay landscape, highlighting how this segment is evolving fast. Vegas Suds showcased cutting-edge touch-free technology, Scotty’s demonstrated how AI is improving chemical efficiency, and Terrible Herbst and Green Valley Grocery offered a compelling look at the power of pairing in-bay washes with convenience stores. With loyalty programs and memberships gaining ground in traditionally resistant markets, these sites are now primed for growth.


Thanks to everyone who joined us—if this event proved anything, it’s that innovation is everywhere, and WCA members are leading the charge.
