"When you invest you're buying a day you don't have to work“
This quote made me to start investing, today I'm to setting up something big like this
Investments are stepping stones to wealth .., you won't have to worry about money any more mostly because your investment creates a lot of passive income.
@Ryan Tyler I've come across success stories and recommendations about Margaret, she must be really good for people to recommend her. please how do get her?.
can't say enough of how profitable the crypto market is. Most especially if you've a professional manager that's good at what he or she does, your proceeds can be over 1OO% .... My proceeds from crypto bought me my dream house.
I've always been "the save your money in the bank" kind of guy. Now this comment section has convinced me to put them to work.
Margaret! Well I'm not surprised someone recommended her. She has set my finance on course. I went from a debtor to debt free and also starting my own business. she's the most sincere broker I have known
Moral of the video: The Manager gets a free wash everyday.
🤣🤣
its normal bro..
HAHAHAHAHA
I am not impressed. Trump wrote off $750.000 on his hair and paid $750 in income taxes.
Sometimes to be the manager sounds good
It’s 2:00AM and I should be asleep but here I am, watching a documentary about a car wash
exactly same 😅
same here haha
when you could be watching lawn bowls ?
Me too 😂
The man who owns this is a genius, finally I see someone who knows how to run a business

17:00 hopefully not just for camera
@@stevethea5250considering they’re doing hundreds per day, a few is a bound to slide
Nobody:
TH-cam: here’s a 50 minute documentary about a car wash
Lol but I enjoying it I was bored
I love it cuz I work at a carwash.. this blows my mind lol
I liked it
I enjoyed it quite a bit. Don’t be so negative
And yet you watched.
As a detailer I can say that not everyone cares or even sees swirls and scratches so no point in educating someone who really doesn’t care and just wants their car clean. Cool facility and can’t knock off the hustle
As a detailer as well, i would rather see a clean car with some swirls than a car covered in salt and dirt
@@thomasshelby7507 well that’s because your close minded
@@thomasshelby7507 oh I know. I spend ages getting swirls out of mine.
But let the rest just swirl away. It keeps me in money 😄
@@thomasshelby7507 I understand what you're all saying but most just don't care. I'm given a new car as a company vehicle every 3 years (currently a 330e M Sport) and clean it once a week in automated car washes as it is just convinient - swirls can be the owners problem 10 years down the line. Even if I cared - one day of work is worth £250. If I spent one day a fortnite cleaning it over 10 years because I was worried a business or personal vehicle might not look as good its a massive waste of time and effort. I can bring it to you guys and have it paint corrected before resale etc. for a fraction of that lost income.
It's not always ignorance - just convince and speed. Massive respect for detailers and their trade though. Plus, as others have said, gives you loads of business.
Same here. Professionally, I offer high quality wash jobs to semi trucks, and always tell people how damaging car washes are to your paint. But my car is 8 years old, and the last thing I want to do after hand washing cabs all day is to go home and wash a car for free.
If I had an expensive car, sure. But a $4k Ford Fusion? Nah.
I've never seen so many clean cars line up for a car wash.
True 😄
Woke up at 4am for no damn good reason. Turned on the phone and TH-cam asked if I wanted to watch a documentary on car washes. HELL YES!
Me too. Why am I watching a video about car washes? I have to go to work in less than 8 hours, LOL...
Nothing beats a proper hand wash
Well of course with special shampoos the more lubrication you have the better
time you spend to do it
Most urban living citizens dont have the time for that. And if Yes, still no free slots for weeks ahead.
yup. Even a coin-op power wash bay and bring your own buckets/MF sponges/towels
Except many car wash businesses got rid of it because of the higher operational costs, doing it at home is good except I live at a apartment.
I like detailing and hand washing but for 90% of the world they just want their car cleaned. As far as everyday car washes go I’m very impressed. Massive operation.
Just clean involves hand washing and detailing, your average car wash doesn't do shit and the brushes that scrub the car usually leave scratches in the paint. If you spend time detailing you'll notice no car that comes out of a car wash is just clean, far from clean just gets some wet work done at the cost of shredding your paint. The best way I can explain it is getting a half ass exterior wash and still having door jams, windows, wheels, wheel wells, and interior to clean and that's over half the car lol
That Mechanic Shop is badass, we need to adopt this type of transparency here in the US.
You are the best service in the world the manager is best human
German Technology System 👍👍👍
Believe are not we have stuff like this in U.S I'm a detail guy myself
@@DeVonLastKing we have VERY VERY FEW of these that 99% of america does not know
@@00700556 lol you making yourself a fool
🤦🏾♂️That’s it! 🙋🏽♂️ Buying my next car in Germany and dropping it off here before shipping it back to the states
We also have it in ENGLAND!
Nothing more painful as when I see someone take a +80k vehicle through a contact car wash. Leaving spiderwebs 🕸
Job security for paint correction!
They scratch up your paint, then charge you to paint correct
All the Porsches and AMGs!!!!!
Maybe the guy is spiderman and wants spider webs on his car.
@@AltimaNEO 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 facts
Hey guys, I actually live near this car wash. And I can say that us germans only really use it when we're short on time.
And the interior cleaning they do is actually pretty rad not gonna lie xD
But in general we're so obsessed with our cars that we wash them ourselves in "self cleaning stations" (basically pressure washers with drains). Washing your car in your driveway is actually illegal here, because of environmental laws.
Cheers from Stuttgart!
Damm
You can wash your car in your driveway?? That ridiculous!! Nothing like America ! LAND OF THE FREE.
@@Mike-ui7ls can or can't?
@@Mike-ui7ls its Stupid to wash the car in public road lol. Road belongs to everyone! Think about a motorbike to being fall because of your foam
What about the oil change facility? Is the oil good?
Of course nothing is softer on your car than hand washing, but honestly, this car wash is amazing and really much better than your usual gas station car wash. I used to go there quite a lot and never noticed any swirls (other than the one time I went somewhere else). The quick pressure-pre-wash gets off a lot of the debris that mainly causes those dreaded swirls. Also, other than most car washed, they regularly wash the cloths in the car wash so they don't even get the chance to collect as much dirt as others. For the interior cleaning they won't even reuse a cloth for a second car but toss it in the laundry bin and get a clean one every time.
Thoroughly hand washing your car with a sponge that wasn't properly cleaned might actually do more damage to your paint than this "paint swirl factory" as some here call it.
I always love to do to Mr Wash, although I have to admit, watching a couple of probably not very highly paid people clean out my car feels a bit condescending.
19:30 a specialized sponge is used.. aka magic eraser 😂
Those are life savers
Magic Erasers are just regular melamine sponges at five times the price.
The largest paint swirl factory....yikes!
Get what you’re saying but I would think that the Germans are a lot more careful I used to live there
Like they care
@@KM-gh3ob
And the cars value is not just down to miles it’s down the interior and paint work they have a totally different value of a used car so if you have a shitty interior and horrible paint work your car is worth less especially interior
@@KM-gh3ob Just like when you go to Japan or some thing they take care of their shit a lot better to
@@KM-gh3ob
If you’ve been to Germany you can tell they take a lot of pride in cars but most places do in Europe is different. Not like in the US or the scratch the living shit out of their door panels and interior pieces
I live in Southern California. One of the most car centric places on earth! You would think we would have a car wash like this but we do not. We need one here!
Environmental reason in California. You ever leave that state you will see car washes that Make this one look dated……
Years ago as an Englishman working in Germany I treated my nice new Mitsubishi Colt turbo to a car wash. I was 19 and it was my first car. I was completely blown away seeing a group of highly efficient detailers leap on my dirty car, I paid for the full monty and it was an absolute pleasure to watch. This was in the 80s and to my knowledge we didn't have anything like this in England at that time.
"This isn't the kind of thing we'd normally do for a customer," 17:50 except when there is a TV crew from WELT filming us 😆😆😆😆
Normally the manager says -
no refund,
don't bring filthy cars like this here,
you are now banned.
We do
That guy should've purchased a detail
The dirt actually looked staged...
exactly!! Would have been more amusing if they had hidden cameras and sent people through to see what the REAL situations would happen lol
Im from germany and i also watched the german version of this documantary, its funny to hear the english version now xD
German language is za best 😂
@@Techie1224 Bulgarian is also good
Bro hahahahah mache das gleiche grad, die Kommentare hier sind auch episch 😂😂
Wow. I'm blown away by the integrity and politeness...
As a detailer I hate contact car washes... basically swirl factories. But I've worked at a carwash/oil change place with no honesty, integrity, etc... customers were also God-awful to deal with. I just couldn't stand it and had to quit...
I know video only captures so much but I'm blown away by the culture in Germany.
👍
Landlord..U mean ur car-wash didn't damage my Axle !!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁
"Hello sir, what wash package would you like?"
"lemme get the Swirl Mark Special with the Shitty Ceramic."
Ikr people do not understand what these car washes really do to their car
Just rubbing more dirt on the paint
@@mbui7182 are they really that bad I’ve heard about people not taking a tesla through them or expensive cars of that type what does it do obviously if I had a nice car I would always wash by hand anyway that’s the fun of it
@@jeremyluke8022 YES. Touchless only.
more business for detailers!
bruh wtf i just watched a 50min video of cars geting washed
Its 0410am im going to get up out of bed & take my '86 VW to get washed.....🛁🚗🚿
Me too, I need a life.
and your car sit dirty in the garage 😂
You could have washed your car during this time
The worst was the dubbed translation between customer and employee. So generic.
i was stationed in Germany 2 years, I loved every part of it. Great, smart people. I yearn to return soon.
12:50 "Once the auto mechanic has transformed the car's interior into a winter wonderland"
Be careful, a certain Walter White could come and buy this place.
welcome to a1 carwash
*aztec pulls up*
A car wash where people pay only with 20s. 😎
you made me laugh
damn... i thought i was the only one with the joke... you did it first
the paint on the top right at 37:30 makes me wanna cry.
Me too but Gabriel thinks he can do it better himself so what do you know.
Watching this video makes me forget I was working lol
instead of doing my homework ive spent an hour watching about a car wash
13:20 As the camera crew are onsite the Manager thought he better do something, as usually he locks himself in his office watching phub all day.
🤣
Lol
Paint swirls factorie
A rotary polisher was used first (yes this produces swirls). Then they used a DA polisher (this removes the swirls left behind).
@@1ELiMusic the rotary microfibers on the car wash conveyors are the ones producing swirls
@@bry120 but that's every automatic car wash
@@1ELiMusic nope, there is touch less car wash on my country Australia
@@bry120 correct. This new form of touchless is found globally now. The problem with that is, it does not remove the stuck on dirt or grime off the surface well enough to make it a proper wash. Sure, you have water blasting at over 3000PSI but you're harming your paint as well.
That was fun to watch. 😉😉
Way more interesting than anticipated!.
Also, FYI: In Germany, it's illegal to wash your car at home.
Did wonder why such a big car wash this would explain it thank you
@@dukeofdevon5608 you are welcome !
So glad I subscribed to this channel, really interesting and diverse range of quality documentaries.
The branch manager hasn’t done that much manual labor in years.
Thinking exactly that, I'm sure he tests the concentration of the wheel cleaner on a daily basis
Does that matter! He is enjoying the fruit of his hard work and qualifications. You can't ask a doctor why he earns hundred times more than a nurse even though he work less.
@@chayan3603 calm down, you are missing the point. What we said is that he is putting it on for the camera, when in reality he does not do all these jobs. Do you really think he goes in the engine room to mix chemicals ? Wether he deserves it or not is besides the point, so relax.
Its for show
@@chayan3603 stfu
17:45 👈🏼😎 That’s a real Boss…getting his hands dirty to satisfy a customer. I remember when I was 16yrs old, I had a summer job in a gas station and the owner used to clean the windshields and check the oil of the customer’s cars…real humble !!
Good documentary 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Thank you.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Never have I been so interested in a car wash...
So impressive... just a simple thing.. clean and take car of cars.. but with complex job and attention to detail...👍🏼
It was nice to see the boss in action as well, lead by example☺️
The comment section is brutal, I drive a silver car as my daily, I regularly take it to one of these to get the salt, rocks etc off my car. Salt does irreversible damage to cars while swirls can be removed.
24:25 dang these Germans are amazing: Full transparency.
How many times do you guys think it took them to shoot the part when both of them opened the garage door at the same time at the beginning of the video.
This is awesome. I lived in Germany for 3 years, not once I saw a manager or store employee letting anyone in as they closed 😂😂.
So basically the manager has the cleanest and most scratched paint around...
These new carwashes dont really scratch the paint of a car anymore. The only time it will leave scratches is when there is like some dirt or something stuck on the cloths.
@@ThenameisOskar Thanks for the reply, but incorrect. There’s always debris stuck to the brushes. Even brand new, they will pick up the dirt from your own vehicle as it washes it and scratch the paint. The only way to not damage the paint in your vehicle is by (properly) hand washing. Cheers.
yeah cross contamination..if a car which just came from offroad and went through..thats about enough to scratch the next few cars haha..
@@ThenameisOskar they still do. I run new vehicles through different tunnels
@@sauleml1445 I mean it does leave "scratches" but those are swirls. You can just polish the car and get rid of them. No big deal honestly. I wash my car by hand though.
They'll scratch the shit of these cars with this speed. The Melkus wash, is how all cars should be washed.
To be honest the Melkus wash wasn't done that well either although it was a hundred times better than the industrial place.
I agree but for one thing is that the touch wash should be in straight back and forth not circles
@@jski238 right? Plus he dried it with a squeegee...
If the numbers are correct, 1 Melkus with 7 employees washes 3000 cars every year. With around 48 000 000 cars registered in Germany you would need 112 000 people working at carwashes to wash every car only once a year.
Multiplying by 6 to wash every car every two months gets you 672 000 people working at Melkus-like carwashes, which is about 1.64% of all German workforce.
he dried with a squeegee which can actually leave worse scratches than a machine wash so i wouldn't say it was the best wash either tbh
What a fantastic operation, I'd like to see similar facilities in the US that have that level of care and accountability.
Very good documentary. I loved it.
i enjoyed this way too much
I like cars, I like cleaning and detailing, and I love machines..... I want a giant car wash of my own now.
If you truly liked detailing you would absolutely hate this video!! This place is destroying car paint work by the hundreds! 🤦🏻♂️ heart breaking
This seems really cool and high tech but i would never take my car to there or any place like that because the chemicals they use are bad for the car and often are cheap products or else it would cost too much, they are alkaline and acidic which can ruin car paint over time but they use it so it is easier to remove stuck dirt and grime etc. The contact wash is even worse because the microfibre spinning things dont get cleaned leaving dirt and abrasive substances stuck on them causing swirls and scratches on the car paint which look terrible. Car washing and detailing takes time and 30 seconds is not quality work, it is just for people who want express cleaning who dont really care about their car. also exposing a car to high tempuratures after a cold wash is also not good. I dont know why there are many luxury and expensive cars going there but they will soon realised what these automatic washing systems do to the cars. If you really care about you cars, please take them to a experienced car detailer or wash it by yourself with correct methods.
The owner of this car wash owns a paint correction shop half a mile up the road from here. 😆 🤣
Lol they are doing paint correction IN THE DAMN PLACE
Anyone taking their car here doesn't even know about paint correction lol
Lmao they mess up the cars and have a place to fix them
Supply and demand my brother
@@sysrqstoic supply the problem and ppl will demand a solution...
The process of cleaning a car is a precise work of art that reaches its epitome with time, if you put a limit on the time to clean a car you defeat the process.
Simply WOW for the owner of the facilit and filming group...
Came across thus video spent my afternoon watching it. Crazy!!! Wish i could take my car there
Hello and Happy New Year everybody
The first WELT Documentary, perfect to start good 2021
loving this documentary because I love car wash
I like how they pressure wash the car first to remove a lot of the grit that could get on the foam rollers that everyone goes through and can scratch the vehicle
The complaing guy is a real specialist - he brouht his extrem dirty carftsmen car and expected for the price the a €200 job.
Exactly. Who know what dust this car had. Cement dust, sand etc which are way tougher to clean
Time stamp???
@@startingtech3900 17:30
@Jr V preach bro I have a detail company too. Just did a disaster detail on a huge lifted missing truck. Was never cleaned on the inside had solidified sun flower seed spit inside the door panels, hot mud caked everywhere on the inside outside. I did a full interior detail steam cleaning carpet extraction etc and exterior wash and clay with full paint correction on a huge truck for 300$ took almost 10 hrs guy still complained the I didn’t get the inside of his massive missing truck absolutely perfect. I’m going to have to just start turning down huge Disgusting jobs like that. Bc it is extremely hard to get those vehicles back and I’m tired of doing them. For every great 10 details you have one like that and would rather not take those jobs anymore
@Jr V At least i like how professional they work there, every process is optimized, even additional services like a oil change - the customer there gets also the security that the exact fitting oil is filled - and that for a discount price. With this level of perfection, they also make at the end good money - win/win situation for the company and the customer.
I have to say channels like this and others on You Tube are better then the Discovery channel! And free, thank you team for providing the documentaries, hope you have a happy new year, let’s hope it’s a better one!
i miss the old discovery channel.... novadays it should just go off air...its not a documentary channel anymore
Good point!
That is the final component necessary to achieve the goal that our developers have set
Such a Amazing Documentary 👌👌😁😁
Crazy he needed to show registration to get a oil change
Love it.
Hi!
Would you like the happy ending package????
This was so awesome 🤩
ممتاز العناية بالسيارات شي مميز واتمنى لكم التقدم الي الاحسن والافضل ،،،
Would love the option of the 30 min wash and polish with a 99 euro oil change in such little time here in Ireland. €220 is also great value for the more intimate paint correction in the detailer.
Yes that price is wild. Without a ceramic coating to have your paint polished in my area is $500+. I actually bought a dual action polisher and do it myself once a year. There's nothing difficult about the process but doing it correctly does take many hours. The prep is the key, the actual polishing is pretty simple. Right tool, right pads, right compound and polish and it's just guiding a machine around your car.
The car enthus spazzing out in the comments lmao
Good Quality Car Wash I definitely need one of these car washes in the UK. 👊🔥🇬🇧
Yes, certainly would be popular here.
No duplex pumps or pre-rebuilt pumpsat Mr Car Wash. - No electronic PH monitoring on detergent systems!.. Polishing a dash board without taping off surrounding area... 'Cross check' impressive. Clay bar paint is professional. Spraying a car seat without protecting interior...
They should show the swirl marks on the paint afterwords! I bet they don’t even correct the paint properly when applying their “ceramic coating”
Its the opposite in Europe, the automated car washes use loads of water so don't leave swirl marks and keep the brushers clean. You are actually more likely to get swirls with a cheap detailer who ends up rubbing dirt into the body (its common to have eastern Europeans offer cheap hand washes that totally ruin your paintwork).
@@virtualcircuit you’re still going right behind a dirty car who’s brushes are dirty from that car. A properly done wash will leave minimal swirls with the 2 bucket method. Are you really trying to compare a red light car wash done by an Arab to a 2 bucket hand wash?
@@Joshwake Sure, it will give some slight swirl marks, but an average hand wash will give a lot worse scratches. Many people just don’t know how to wash their cars. So better chose a decent automatic car wash.
They apply ceramic coating on top of swirls so seal them in lmao
@@ThanosKratos Who and where?!
Although I’d never pass my car through a car wash it’s pretty impressive they do the pre rinse and prewash areas hard to get by hand then use “soft” water at the end to avoid water spots
That’s what it’s all about the detail five stars but I live in Germany and close to this place I would definitely use them for some of the services otherwise I do my own in my own yard
My husband used to work for Stuttgart in Dallas Texas his boss Mike Manuka he liked very well it was a automotive repair shop he loved it.
Wow....we need one of these !!
Walter White has definitely expanded his business
it’s your lucky day we are offering a free side of swirls with every car wash purchase today! :)
💖Only by hand, because the car wash makes scratches

Nothing beats investing and when it's done properly, you won't have to worry about money any more because it creates a lot of passive income.
Recently I took a deep dive into investing. Particularly crypto investment as it interests me. Tried several methods trying to figure out the best approach to building my portfolio but so far I've incurred losses, I'm done with the idea of investing.
If you're Trading and investing without a professional guide it's similar to gambling your money in the market. You should get a professional broker . I firmly recommend my portfolio manager Magret Lukem.
I thought of investing in crypto 2 years back but i was discouraged by my friends and I don’t know much about it, is it safe investing in it now?
@@lucyyu3422 Sure! investing in the bitcoin and forex market is profitable and timeless it depends on the ability of your broker and how willing you are to invest a good capital that will yield a high ROI.
Awesome 👏🏽
This is amazing
Accurate representation of a car-detailers literal worst nightmare
So true
After watching this, I thought of the scene from Breaking Bad and somewhere near the facility there is a high amount of chemicals leaking somewhere flowing through an area
Wow, that's great
Never knew car wash can be this exciting
