Car wash details in McHenry County

The International Carwash Association has been asking a question of U.S. car owners now for nearly 20 years: Do you wash your own ride or leave the bucket behind?

“The needle has moved in the favor of car washes every single time we’ve asked it,” said Eric Wulf, CEO of the Chicago-based organization.

Most recently, about 69 percent said they favored professional car washes to the elbow-grease approach. Consumers were split 50-50 when the association started asking the question in the mid-1990s.
