ICA Car Wash Hall of Fame Award

The Hall of Fame Award is the highest honor in the professional car wash industry, recognizing individuals whose leadership, innovation, and service have made a lasting impact. One or two recipients may be chosen each year, though the award isn’t required to be given annually — and it may be awarded posthumously.

Nominations are accepted year-round from anyone in the industry, but the final selection isn’t based on the number of nominations or popularity. Each nominee is evaluated on the following qualities:

• Leadership: A proven track record of guiding an organization or the industry forward.

• Collaboration: A willingness to share knowledge and help others succeed.

• Industry Support: Active involvement in association boards, committees or initiatives (e.g. Grace for Vets).

• Longevity: A career of meaningful contribution to the car wash profession.

• Innovation: Contributed new ideas, products or processes that advance the industry.

To nominate someone, complete and submit the form along with a letter detailing how your nominee meets these criteria. Selections are typically made about 60 days before The Car Wash Show.
