Stories from the Show Floor 2024

The Car Wash Show 2024 in Nashville was a huge success! With record-breaking attendance and a sold-out exhibition floor, the event exceeded expectations. This year’s show featured engaging events including live presentations at the Pitch theater, the Hall of Fame celebration, The Big Bash, Innovation Alley, and much more.

With all these amazing things happening throughout the show, it’s sometimes easy to overlook some of the small and wonderful stories happening at the same time.

In this episode, Mark Bell, producer for CAR WASH the Podcast, takes a mic onto the show floor to hear a few stories from people who have been coming to the show for a very long time. He also catches up with show first-timers to hear about their experiences. Additionally, we’ll share two stories focused on the ways in which the show and the car washing industry have changed lives.
