Young women cleaning up Lodi's mobile car wash business

To wash the vehicles, the two young women only use the equivalent of a cup of water along with a nano polymer solution in a spray bottle.

Raven Roman and Angelina De La Cruz hope to continue their "spotless" reputations in Lodi and beyond.

Spotless, meaning, cleaning and detailing dirty cars wherever you are.

"I've washed cars since I started college. So, it's been more fun to do," said Roman.

The pair met in the Bay Area through college friends. Roman worked three years detailing cars for a rental car company. She bet there would be a niche for cleaning and detailing cars for people too busy to take their vehicle to the car wash.

So far, she has been right. Their business is called Insideout Wash.

The pair does about five to 15 cars a day. Pat Schumacher has used the duo to clean-up his red BMW while he was at work.

"I think it's great. The fact that they come to you. They were here. My office is upstairs. They use very little water. They're very thorough. They work hard," said Schumacher.

They charge $40 for a sedan and $60 to $70 for a truck or SUV. If you use them once a week, the "membership" fee drops to $25 once a week.

They will travel anywhere in Lodi, Stockton or Galt and charge an extra fee if you are further away.

To wash the vehicles, they only use the equivalent of a cup of water along with a nano polymer solution in a spray bottle.

"No chemicals go into the sewer or to the ocean. There are no pollutants or anything like that," said De La Cruz.

The business is booming so much they are looking to hire more employees.

Jordan Edwards is a busy guy.

With little time to wash his car himself, he has two young women do it.

"I can work. Make money while I get my car washed," says Edwards.

Meet the dynamic detailing duo of 21-year-old Raven Roman and Angelina De La Cruz.

Have car, will wash and they will come to you.

"I've washed cars since I started college. So, it's been more fun to do," says Roman.

That fun coupled with three years detailing cars for a rental company has turned into Insideout Wash.

Their mobile business travels from Lodi, Stockton and beyond.

"I saw an opportunity and I took it. I mean this business has actually grown in a short amount of time," says De La Cruz.

They clean as few as 5 cars to as many as 15 a day.

And believe it or not, they use the equivalent of just one cup of water and a nano polymer solution, which is a non-toxic emulsion spray that helps break down dirt into a cleaning cloth.

"So how we go is we spray it onto the car. Spray it in a section. And we just go and we wipe it," says Roman.

Pat Schumacher used their service to spiff up his red BMW.

"They use very little water. They're very thorough. Their car comes looking out great," says Schumacher.

So great, the duo is at the point where they need to expand and hire more employees.

Bottom line, their squeaky clean image is leading to a spotless reputation in a washed-up business that is flourishing.
