First Stop

Beyond a black-and-red-tiled awning that hangs over a pair of gas pumps, the garage of First Stop Car Wash houses vehicles in the midst of repairing and washing services. Yellow posts stand guard at the front entrance, preventing cars that loathe bath time from fleeing out the front doors as crew members rub down chassis with soapy water or shine paint with a coat of carnauba wax. In addition to polishing rides with quick washes, crews also delve into the layers of sediment both inside and out during full detail packages, shampooing carpets, conditioning leather surfaces, and removing the burnt smell coming from the glove box’s Easy-Bake Oven.
