Answer 2

Donation based car washes are always the best. I have been doing them for years and they always manage to bring in a ton of cash. I have worked with other organizations that have a set price of $5 for cars and $10 for trucks and vans and thats all they get. But when I did it strictly on a donation basis and explained the worthy cause that this was supporting we got plenty of donations well over $10. Of course there were people who still gave $1 or $5 or whatever change they had in the ash tray. There was even one guy who demanded that we wash his car for free simply because we were asking for donations and technically when the cost of goods or services from a charity is on a donation basis, the charity has to be willing to do it for free. Anyhow, even though you get a few people like that, you stand to raise more money by washing cars on a donation basis.

Banks, gas stations, supermarkets and other businesses tend to donate the use of their water and parking lot for car wash purposes.

The way the operation can work most efficently is to use an assembly line process. Set up a path with cones for the cars to drive through. Have 2 hose lines- one at the beginning and one at the end so that one can do a pre-rinse and the other will be used for rinsing off the cars after they have been washed. There are a few other stops in between to do the other tasks.

As the cars line up and go through the path at the first stage there will be someone to tell the driver about the cause that they are donating to. At the next stop the car gets the pre-rinse by one person using the sprayer. At the next stop 2 people are on either side of the car scrubbing tires. At the next stop there are two people with buckets, washing the cars. At the next stop there is someone to rinse the car down with the hose. At the last stop there are people to do the drying and someone with the donation jar.

Answer 3

Is this for a school?
If so, I would suggest selling the Little Caesar's Pizza Kits. They are cheap and pretty good for a kit. Everyone can enjoy these and not feel obligated to spend tons of money. Also, if this is for a school I would suggest making a rule that parents not buy from their own kids. I think this levels the playing field a little bit.
