In April 2021, after relocating our family across the country to get the proper medical attention needed for one of our children. I was forced to shut down my business so I could support my child who was in and out of hospitals and treatment centers, I was in a major financial crunch. In order to get by I started to wash vehicles to bring in some income.

My brain started to roll, I initially looked into purchasing a car wash, then I attended the International Car Wash Show in Las Vegas. I listened and learned and asked questions. It did not take me long to realize that besides selling new car washes, a great portion of the income came from selling and adding chemical components, water recycling and other components for a recurring revenue source.

I looked at the pain points, the effects it had on the environment, and came up with this idea of trying to make a “real” positive impact on the industry. Sauna Car Wash was born, I developed my ideas and hired engineers to test and promote my vision.

In the middle of 2022, I came up with an “aha” moment by looking at new modern sophisticated technologies, how these can be changed, applied, or adapted to the car wash industry, my concept was proven. Now in 2023 we are looking to raise funds to hire professional engineers to develop the hardware and software, so we have a working prototype to go to market within 18-24 months.
