In short, you don't need to do very much...

  • Waves surveys your site (free of charge) and if suitable for a car wash, submits a proposal
  • If you accept the proposal, both parties complete legal paperwork
  • Waves sets the site up (obtaining necessary compliance etc.)
  • Waves operates the site (including marketing, recruitment, training etc.)
  • Waves pays you a commercial fee
  • You receive the income directly, every month, by standing order
