"The average bill has also increased by 30%, to 428 rubles. Car washes are most often used by men — their share among customers was 69%. However, the average bill for women turned out to be 4% higher," the newspaper reports.

This surge is explained by a seasonal factor, as car owners are massively striving to clean their transports from the pollution they received over the winter. In order to reduce costs, most choose self-service car washes and automatic car washes.

"In spring, Russians traditionally have an increased demand for car wash services. Market experts predict a further increase in the demand of Russians for car wash services," the publication quotes Alexey Kolchugin, president of the Association of Organizations in the field of child Care and car Washing.
