In 1996, Frank Lynch built the first Cactus Car Wash in Charleston, South Carolina with a simple goal: provide an outstanding car wash experience. At Cactus Car Wash, the customers relax in a comfortable lounge while the high-tech equipment and highly trained staff clean their cars quickly and thoroughly. Wax and detailing services satisfy the most ardent car-lovers. Before long, Cactus Car Wash became the highest grossing car wash in America. Cactus expanded into the heart of Atlanta in 1998. Once again, Cactus set new standards in customer care, quality and service at the Midtown location. This facility is the busiest car wash in the United States. Today, Cactus Car Wash has six highly successful locations in Georgia and South Carolina. The facility, in the exclusive Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, opened in fall of 2003 and was one of five businesses named "Business of the Year" by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution and the Buckhead Business Association. Cactus Car Wash operates on a "flex-serve" model, offering customers traditional full-service car washing, exterior-only express car washing, and a variety of special detailing and restoration options.
