One of the things I love about the LEGO City 60292 set is that it came with a car wash. But I had 2 problems with it. First, it doesn’t fit Speed Champions cars. Second, it was a bit basic. So here’s how I’ve built my LEGO moc with horizontal brushes, sprays, a dryer that moves with the car. And most importantly, takes Speed Champions cars!
P.S. Don’t worry, I don’t sing Car Wash by Rose Royce in the video, promise. But here’s a link if you want to have it stuck in your head too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v8I5egzoMo

About this Video:
Why build a working LEGO City Car wash? Honestly, because the engineering in them has always fascinated me from an early age. That, and it’s a lot of fun to see the cars going through.
There were quite a few challenges – not having the right parts being one – such as how and where to level the horizontal brush so it doesn’t hit anything.
That rear dryer took a few versions to get right and make compact (and heavy enough) to make it work in the space. The dryer is connected to a large ventilation fan via a hose. It does look like there’s an issue with the ventilation fan, but luckily the series 22 Robot Repair Tech Minifigure is there working on it!
Then all the little details like the hose and foam sprays at the front. All in all, it was a fun little project that I just had to tackle as it had been sitting on my desk calling to me to “fix” it!
I hope you enjoy it and this will be added to my soon to be updated Intergalactic Car & Spaceship Service Station LEGO City MOC: https://youtu.be/x9GXLj5EPLg
