Overview

WashTrends is a monthly magazine. We have our niche. We tell the human side of the industry's stories. Whether it be from manufacturers or individual carwash owners, innovation happens when someone figures out how to do something in a better way. It could be a new marketing strategy, a new add-on to wash services, a new wash business model, a different type of wash style, a new way of applying wax, etc. At WashTrends, we want to spotlight innovation! But, to do this, we must first find it. In 2008, when we launched WashTrends as a quarterly print publication, some questioned how we could find enough innovative news to write about. Indeed, they scoffed after two or three issues that we would run out of new topics. But even now, in 2022 (14 years later), we are still seeking and FINDING innovation. In 2020 we launched Carwash Industry Insider to complement WashTrends. Our readers told us that they would also like access to a publication that is a "go-to" resource. Carwash Industry Insider is all about products, services, industry news, and examples of excellence. Carwash Industry Insider is structured to provide opportunities for reader submissions for Cover Profile, Carwash Profile, Focus on Innovation, and Product of the Month. We attend trade shows and industry meetings, listening to what people have to say. We are always looking for "the buzz." Look for us at the show! We always have something yummy, whether chocolate or fresh cookies. We will also likely ask you what you have seen at the show that is "hot."
