message: I've gone through the article and cleaned up a lot of it, but I'm not sure I got everything, which is why I'm leaving the {tone} tag.  Darry2385 23:46, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree - I own a car wash, and the description of the wash process sounds like it describes one specific wash, when in truth there is a lot of variations in the industry.  For example, I don't run as much equipment because I have two scrubbers at the front prepping the car.  Inline tire shine is far from universal as well.  I last visited this article some time ago, and it is a mess now.  The section on Bikini car wash doesn't tie in well, and there needs to be a lot of work done on the chemistry involved.  I look forward to seeing your edits Dasoomer. Seaphoto 16:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Could we maybe add a part in this article where it mentions about the potental hazards in automatic car washes?  Like maybe vehicle damage, people getting stuck in there, exc.?--71.116.37.15 19:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hazards in automatic car washes? 

message: I respect the hard work that the original author and other contributors have done with this article and do not want to anger or offend. I believe the car wash industry and the casual reader will be best served, however, by an article that refrains from opinion, and works to simply outline the history of the industry and the various methods and equipment car washes utilize. This is why I was compelled to edit statements regarding touch-free car washing which seemed to perhaps be based on opinion rather than cited studies, statistical evidence or research. Conversely, there are studies which show the positive effects of touch-free washing, but I chose not to include them in my edit because I do not want to degrade an otherwise fine article into a battle of words defending the benefits of one technology over an other which seems contrary to the intention of Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krispy2001 (talk • contribs) 17:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: For what particular reason is the term "mitter" classified onto the car wash ribbons moving left and right or back and forth? Being part of the UWEC people, I saw these ribbons moving in car washes beginning in September 1990, and I don't remember anyone mentioning the term "mitter" prior to June 2008 (not in public, but across Internet) to describe these curtains.

replies: text: "Mitter", "wrap"/"wraparound", and "rocker" are obscure terms that need elaboration. I've tagged the article appropriately. —Eekerz (t) 05:31, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The term "mitter" is not all too familiar with most people 

message: The Waterless Car Wash information is incorrect. Waterless technique isn't known as "chemical", it makes it sound non-biodegradable, which is exactly what many of these products are. I won't say ALL, because that wouldn't be true, but it indeed is not a man-made chemical.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.38.43 (talk) 01:47, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bias Article 

message: I think a differntiation needs to occur in the Automaics section of the article regarding In-Bay Automatics and Tunnels (regular and "express").  There are two completely different wash styles (from the consumers standpoint) and should be separated.  Ask around, I'm sure you'll find at least one person that refuses to use a car wash with a converyor (they may call it a pull-through car wash).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tenacious Chance (talk • contribs) 21:48, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I changed the top image for 2 reasons:
(1) More typical image of a carwash.
(2) International perspective (carwash in Australia) - less bias to the US.

message: As of this week, it's currently listed in the Wikipedia's current article for improvement, and I think it needs more.
Overall, History is finished, which I did little of copyediting, I mixed infos with other researches I have found, overall, it made perfect sense and comprehensive style of understanding. In my opinion, this article will be improved much greatly by the use of thoughts and thinkings, so that it can be fully improved by the end of this week. I am thinking of adding the section called "Technique", that teaches the reader on how to easily learn to do car wash. Apparently, we can add videos as a tutorial in it too...  It only needs Teamwork. CryOceD (talk) 00:27, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
