Helderberg Composite Innovators (HCI) presented their innovative mobile car wash solution, Wash on Wheels (WOW) at False Bay Primary School in Macassar last Wednesday (27 November).
This cutting-edge product is designed to address the growing need for efficient and water-conscious car washing, while at the same time it provide students with hands-on experience in entrepreneurship and business management, while also keeping them engaged and productive.
The WOW unit is a fully functional mobile car wash, compact enough to navigate parking lots with ease. It boasts a 50-litre water tank and a cordless, battery-operated pressure washer, significantly reducing water consumption compared to traditional car wash methods.
“This is our second model of the Wash on Wheels design,” said Filano Fischer, one of the founders of HCI, along with Stephen Carelse and Ricardo Johnson.
“It’s made from composite materials and includes a cordless vacuum cleaner, cleaning chemicals, and microfibre cloths. The lightweight pressure washer is incredibly user-friendly.”
In celebration of the launch and in partnership with the local non-profit organisation Reach Out To Others (ROTO), HCI has sponsored a Wash on Wheels unit to False Bay Primary School for a six-month period.
“We want to empower young people with skills and opportunities,” explained Fischer.
“We are constantly looking for ways to empower students, parents and communities and we want to say thank you to HCI and to False Bay Primary for launching this initiative which we believe will take the school to even further heights.”
The Wash on Wheels unit, which retails at R17 500, is available for purchase. HCI hopes to expand their reach and potentially sponsor similar initiatives at schools in Macassar and Strand.
“Cleanliness is next to godliness, and this product will further enhance the school’s values of pride and discipline as we strive to shape our learners to become the absolute best they can be,” commented school principal Desmond Engelbrecht.
