Clear mirrors, clear view. 🚙

Morning dew can leave behind residue that builds up on your mirrors and affects visibility over time. Regular washes help keep that film from taking over this fall. 🍂

Spotted in the tunnel: one very gourd-geous ride 🎃🚙

Happy Halloween from all of us at Tidal Wave Auto Spa!

This Halloween throwback still makes our whole team smile 💙

Last Halloween, one little guy decided the coolest costume he could think of was... a Tidal Wave car wash attendant. So our team did the only reasonable thing: we invited him to come “work” for the day!

He prepped cars like a pro, kept a very serious eye on the tunnel, and made his rounds with our site leader to make sure everything was running smoothly.

That feeling when you pull out of the wash and suddenly want to drive somewhere just so people can see your car 😌🚙✨

10/27/2026

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear from organizations who’ve already made our fundraising program work for them 💙

Here’s how it works:
🚙 Buy Tidal Wave Auto Spa wash vouchers for $5 each
💵 Sell them to supporters for $10
🙌 Keep $5 from every coupon sold

Supporters get a Graph-X4 + Super Shammy wash, so the coupons practically sell themselves. No event to plan, no inventory to manage.

Managing a fleet is hard enough. Keeping it clean shouldn’t be. 🚙

BEFORE a Tidal Wave Fleet Plan:
❌ Paying for individual washes
❌ Searching for a wash wherever each vehicle goes
❌ Dirty company vehicles

AFTER a Tidal Wave Fleet Plan:
✅ Streamlined billing, plus discounts
✅ 325+ locations across 30 states
✅ A fleet that stays clean

Whether it’s Simply Clean or Graph-X4 + Super Shammy, every wash on the board is built to send you off sparkling 🚙✨

Which one’s your go-to? 👇

All those leaves may not seem bad for your ride, but they can actually do some damage.

When left to sit too long, they can trap moisture, promoting rust and staining. Quick tip: gently lift leaves off instead of dragging them across the paint, then follow up with a wash to clear away any residue.

Save this for the next time your car gets buried in leaves 🚙
