The year end in the Car Wash Industry has changed the focus of the Industry. We had chastised the Industry and the ICA in their move to attack the home car owner washing in their drive way. Also trying to ban car wash fundraisers. We had criticized these things: http://www.carwashguys.com/080902_3.shtml and http://www.carwashguys.com/073102_2.shtml . Although it took the industry an extra couple of years to change their direction, we still have to applaud this new tact. Originally they had proposed this: http://www.parthe.net/_cwg900/0000006d.htm . Now the Car Wash Association has done a complete 180 degree turn. Now they believe they have achieved the new direction. Here are some comments from Mike Black the ICA-International Car Wash Association in his message to the industry. http://www.carcarecentral.com/pgRenderPageForNews.asp?Pruuid=%7B0057428A%2D3582%2D4ADE%2D8001%2D13A9CC999C16%7D . The President of the association needs to address the lack of integrity of some of the rogue car wash owners as well, as they have drawn fire to good car washes like this one; http://www.CarWashGuy.com and caused actions against good car washes. The IRS profiled car wash owners as corrupt: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-mssp/carwash.pdf and the State of CA attacked car washes also over cheating car washes on payroll and workmen’s comp fees also illegal aliens. Today the car wash industry claims they are changing, but we had already seen the changes this year in an effort to bring the Industry back inline with the proper ethics: http://www.carwashguys.com/00070303_1.shtml .
