Jim Coleman Co. - Hanna featured on Modern Marvels

[WJB]

TV Monday Night

Modern Marvels : Car Wash
Airs on Monday December 08 08:00 PM


Americans hit the car wash 2 million times a day--at a cost of $25 billion dollars a year. From tunnel systems to in-bay automatics, we'll go beyond the suds to see how car washes are built to clean. We'll get wet inside the largest car wash in the U.S.--a seven acre mega facility complete with a dog wash, chapel, and barber shop. We'll head to a car wash manufacturer where electric eyes are trained, auto conveyers are built, and mega vacuums suck up bowling balls. We'll learn some tips on how to clean our cars at home. Watch as we plaster a $160,000 Porsche with tar, glue, egg, bird droppings, and a bucket full of sludge... and then challenge a detailer to get it off. Cleaning radioactive waste from a train? No problem, if you go to the Energy Solutions rail car wash. Then, it's off to see how car manufacturers design and build vehicles to survive the car wash.


Who said there isn't anything good to watch on TV!

Just watched it. Pretty good show!

 

[Kevin James]

Not bad. I wonder how many car wash wannabe?s are going to jump on the band wagon now and try and get into an already saturated industry thinking that they are going to make there fortune. Or maybe they?ll come make me an offer I can?t refuse. We can only hope and pray.

 

[E.Joramo]

I for one liked the detailer that explained the difference between detailing and a car wash. and what it takes to remove contaminants like tar or sap and need for wax. I hope that people in my area watched the episode.

I'm sure Coleman is loving it. It was almost an like an info-mercial for them.

It was nicely done however, I thought they could have used a much broader scope to showcase the MANY manufacturer's and products in the CW industry, instead of just one or two. A visit to the ICA show would have added a lot of spice to it.

You have to understand that their job is to sell advertising, and to do that they need to fill time with eyeballs. They have a budget, just like everyone else. Doing a brilliant job, isn't needed or in the mix.

 

[Waxman]

Can't wait to watch it.
