🚨 YOU’VE NEVER SEEN A CARWASH TOUR LIKE THIS. 🚨

288 FEET. 😳

That’s 288 feet of conveyor at Sota Shine in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota—and you’re going to get a firsthand look during the HCA Carwash Roadshow: Land of 10,000 Washes! 🚌💦

🌎 WORLD’S LONGEST CARWASH TUNNEL
📍 Sota Shine | Brooklyn Park, MN
📏 288 feet of conveyor

And that’s just ONE of our Roadshow stops.

You’ll tour this incredible operation, see what it takes to run a tunnel of this scale, and get an up-close look at the chemistry and technology behind the wash.

🧪 Ver-Tech is also part of the experience, giving Roadshow attendees an inside look at the company behind the chemistry that helps washes clean better, operate efficiently, and deliver consistent results. Ver-Tech develops high-performance carwash chemistry, including wash, wax, protectant, and drying products.

This is what makes the HCA Roadshow different.

You don't just hear about what's happening in the industry. You SEE it. You walk through it. You talk to the people doing it.

And you get to experience it all with fellow carwash professionals.

288 feet of tunnel. One unforgettable day.

☀️🚗 𝗘𝗻𝗱-𝗼𝗳-𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗽!💦

Summer adventures create some of the best memories—but they can also leave a little evidence behind.

From road trips and beach days to family vacations, sports practices, and everyday errands, your vehicle has been along for the ride all season long. Sand, sunscreen, bugs, dust, and everyday messes can add up quickly.

As summer winds down, it’s the perfect time to give your vehicle a refresh before heading into the busy fall season.

A visit to your local carwash can help:
✨ Remove summer buildup
✨ Protect your vehicle’s finish
✨ Restore that clean-car feeling
✨ Keep your vehicle looking its best

For carwash owners and operators, this is the season when you help customers transition from summer adventures to a fresh start for fall.

💦 𝗖𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀: What’s the biggest summer cleanup challenge your customers face? Sand? Bugs? Mud? Road grime? Share your tips in the comments!

Here’s to ending summer with a clean ride! 🚗☀️
