The Story Behind the Development of the Car Wash Apron

We launched a website on Amazon Japan in 2023. We import and sell products, starting with outdoor equipment and expanding our categories. This time, we will introduce car wash aprons, a popular category of car wash goods for our original brand Well Origin.

If It Doesn’t Exist, Try Making One

If you search for “tools necessary for car washing,” you will immediately find hits for hoses, detergents, sponges, buckets, towels, brushes, coating agents, etc. If you go to a car supply store, you will find many different types of tools for sale, and if you watch videos of car wash YouTubers, they will use them and teach you the benefits and tips of using them.

When watching various YouTubers having fun washing their cars, I found one thing in common. When washing the hood, roof, wheels, and other activities, almost always they bend their body to prevent the foam from getting on their clothes. Every month, major car accessory companies release new products, but even if you search for car wash aprons, there is nothing that can be said to be dedicated to them.

Seeking a Design that is Kind to Both the Car and the User

When it came to the development stage, we paid attention to every detail to make it as easy to use as possible. The surface is made of microfiber material so that the car will not be scratched even if you lean forward. The inside is made of nylon material that does not soak water. Once you adjust the straps to your size, you can just put it on from the second time, so the back is crossed like an X, eliminating the need for troublesome adjustments such as tying strings. The length is short because you pick up sand when squatting to wash tires. If the front pocket is made deep, you will end up putting large and heavy items in it, which will damage your car. The transparent pocket on the inside allows you to check the clock on your smartphone or check your call history while washing the car. We were able to easily incorporate these things and the structure was decided, but the thing we struggled with until the end was whether or not to include a waist strap, which many Amazon reviews have mentioned. I tried wearing a product from another company with a waist strap and climbed onto a step ladder to wash the roof of my car, but it was so cramped that I almost fell off. The reason for shortening the length was to allow both feet to move freely. There is no doubt that the comfort of the product will improve by adding a waist strap and lengthening the length to reduce the area that gets wet, but please forgive us as we do not want some people to get into danger by doing so.

Conclusion

We have been selling car wash aprons since December 2023, and thanks to you, they have been rated as recommended by Amazon. At Well Origin, we strive to develop products that are currently on sale in the world, and add some extra features such as “I wish there was something like this.” We would appreciate your support.

This product is currently on sale on Amazon.
We also sell a large number of other Japanese-made kitchen utensils and tableware.
