We have given away a prepackaged dash wipe to our op wash packages since we opened a few years ago. The vendor is increasingly difficult to connect with so we are looking to an alternative. One local wash gives out a warm pre-moistened towelette like a baby wipe. Another has a microfiber towel exchange. For $2 they give a you a moist microfiber towel. Every time you come back you may exchange the old towel for a new towel at the kiosk.

We do not have any vending and we don't have a wash basin or roller.

The old wipes cost me less that 8 cents per and the customers seem to really like it.

Any leads?

We too have been giving a free dash wipe to every customer that buys a car wash since we opened 3 1/2 years ago. We use a large international company called Diamond Wipes which happens to be 15 minutes from our car wash. The generic "car wash wipe" is around $.07 each and customers loved them.

About a year ago we decided that we wanted to more options for our customers, so we now allow them a choice to choose a dashwipe or an air freshener for free. The air fresheners are only $0.6 each including tax and shipping, and now 80% of our customers get air fresheners. (which saved us money & at the same time is a huge competitive advantage)

The air fresheners are called Wonder Wafers and you can find pricing and flavors at their website (wonderwafers.com)

Six cents or sixty cents?

He's talking about a little wonder wafer so they must be 6 cents each, not sixty.

we buy bulk white towels.We hand one out to each customer as they pay and they return it to the dryers at the end of the tunnel.
