Car wash seems like a business with demand but what are some keys to running one successfully long-term? Things like location, pricing models, equipment choices, marketing approach, managing seasonal changes in volume. Any input from those familiar with this industry would be greatly appreciated.

For a car wash business to succeed, your location plays a major role. You need to find a business location with lots of traffic to be able to make money.
