Clean The Van

Image of the Van Level

*"Great news - finally found a van for you at the auctions under your budget!*

*Don’t freak out when you see it - it looks like it’s just been dredged from the bottom of a lake - but that’s a good thing, it meant no-one else bid on it. They missed out. Underneath that hideous layer of gunk is your perfect workhorse - engine’s a dream, no rust, there’s even equipment in the back. Just needs a good hosing down and you’re in business.*

*You’ll certainly earn your pressure-washing stripes getting this thing clean!"*

*-Harper Shaw*

**Harper Shaw*** You gonna go with that business name, or do you need me to think some up? I'm phenomenal. I thought up Grouting Thomas for that tiler and she's never looked back.

**Harper Shaw*** Van looks fantastic! Told you it'd be fine under the grime. I've pinged you the $100 left over from what you gave me, so that should help get you off the ground. Also, just met my new neighbour over the fence, grumbling about his dirty backyard, and told him to give you a shout. Looks like you've got your first customer!

## Achievements

The **Powerful Pressure Purist** Achievement can be earned during Career Mode or Free Play.

## Trivia

* The access equipment available in the level is: Step Stool x1.
* This level's gnome is located in the back of the garage, sitting on top of the workbench.
* Since the Van is the player's method of travel to jobs, it can be seen in the majority of levels.
* The Van logo features the same image and styling as the overall game's logo.
* Both the front and rear Bumpers have number plates with 'PW5OFIA' on them; this can be read as 'PW SOFIA', or 'PowerWash Sofia'. This is a reference to Sofia Emmanouilidou, the Senior QA Tester at FuturLab.
* Some of the earliest Dev Logs (DL 1 and DL 7) show portions of a Van logo that is different than the current one. It appears to have 'Powerwash Cleaners' in cursive font with a telephone number underneath. This was changed prior to the level's release in Version 0.3.
* The Van was the first job to be available in Challenge Mode. An early look at its Time Challenge, prior to Version 0.4, showed stricter thresholds for silver and bronze medals: 4:00 and 5:00, respectively.
