    im trying to put together a car wash fundraiser at the local Wal Mart for my Youth Basketball team. Does anyone have any experience with this?
    They have a car wash station, but I dont know what they provide? water? hoses?
    Do I need to go rent a tiny pressure washer or something?

    Help!

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your input. I would ask Wal Mart, but the lady in charge of fundraising is off until Thursday, and our fundraiser is Friday afternoon. Just trying to plan ahead.

    Thanks for the input. Now at least I have an idea.

    Go down to Advance or Autozone. Speak to the manager. Explain your cause and see if they can donate any supplies.

    You will need buckets, soap, sponges, and depending on the detailing you want to do, glass cleaner, armor all, armor all foam applicators, absorber towels, and diaper cloths.

    Take water hoses and spray guns. No rings, belts, or watches as they can scratch the cars.

    Depending on your numbers, break into wash group (4 people) dry groups (2 people) and detail groups (2 people).

    Make sure the washers are downwind of the dryers.

    Good Luck.

    Well, the guy said it would be no problem but I would need to talk to the manager. He wasnt around. I went back a couple of times, still not there. I guess I will have to hit it up again with some others.

    How much should I charge per wash???
