The History of Lance Winslow III

Lance Winslow is the founder of Team WashGuys, and was formerly President and Founder of Car Wash Guys.  He has operated three other mobile washing businesses. From 1979 until 1984, Lance operated an aircraft washing service at three different airports under the names Speedy Waxers and Aero Speed Waxing. These companies were sold to finance Aero-Auto Wash in 1985. From 1981 to 1985 he also sold aircraft under the name Speedy Aircraft Finders.

Recently Lance's genealogy and ancestry was traced all the way back to the Mayflower Voyage. Both Edward Winslow, later a Governor and Governor Bradford of the Mayflower are ancestors to Mr. Winslow.

Lance Winslow soloed five different types of aircraft on his sixteenth birthday, soloed a glider at sixteen, became a private pilot at age seventeen and started the world's first computerized aircraft multi-listing service before the fax machine was popular or widespread computer use. During this time, Lance was also the Western Regional Advertising Representative for The Pacific Flyer, a major general aviation newspaper.

Lance then operated Aero-Auto Wash until April 1990 and in June of 1989 Lance Winslow founded The Car Wash Guys. He later decided to capitalize on his concept and began to franchise. He created Car Wash Guys for this purpose. It was later determined, after 3 years of franchising, that the market potential of the washing industry and related service industries were clearly underestimated. Lance Winslow estimates the industry potential of his market sectors at several hundred billion dollars.

Ancillary Services for Boat Cleaning Companies

Dock Washing Services at the Marina

(excerpt)

When setting up a boat detailing and yacht cleaning service business there sure is a lot to know on the topic. And if you are in the auto detailing business and hope to expand then obviously you've considered cleaning boats, especially if there is a marina nearby. Still, I would suggest that you look beyond just washing and detailing vessels because there is a lot of work available if you will jump outside the box and look around.

Okay so, you are seriously thinking about high-end yacht detailing, and I bet right now you are setting up your plan and considering all your potential customers, and types of services you will provide. But, you need to also think beyond the more traditional types of clientele and offerings. There is business all around you, and if someone is willing to pay you for your services and you can make a profit doing it, you should take that business and thank them for it.

Think about using your power washer to clean sidewalks, walk ways, docks, and your boat detailing services will serve you well detailing expensive and luxury cars in the parking lot at the marina. Another good service to provide is bilge cleaning, and it is much needed, one that most boat washers do not offer.

One interesting marina boat service I've been impressed with Name Board refurbishing and restoration. It's a great add-on service you can provide - just make sure all those at the marina know you are offering it, and you will have customers for it. Also, washing fenders, lines and shore power cords is a great service to offer, as these are easy to clean once you have the right procedures, and every boat owner, or marina owner needs it, and they know they need it.

Let me go into a little more depth on a few services which I believe are important services to be considering for your menu.

You can easily charge $.50 to $1.00 per square foot for power washing the docks at the marina, and it's truly a no brainer, and easy to do. There is all sorts of business like this available, just for the asking. Washing Fenders, boxes, power cords can be charged by item; let's say $1.00 for power washing fenders, and $25.00 for power washing, and then waxing boxes for instance.
