Overview
Super Car Wash is a Brazilian car detailing business built around "dry wash" technology — an eco-conscious alternative to traditional water-based washing developed in response to growing water scarcity concerns. The site was built on Joomla! 1.5 with a fully custom template designed from scratch: a bespoke logo, hand-built CSS theme, and tailored layout rather than a stock Joomla skin.
Beyond the public-facing service catalog — covering everything from external/internal washing to upholstery hydration, air-conditioning sanitization, paintless dent repair ("Martelinho de Ouro"), and specialized paint correction — the site includes a custom member area. Registered customers could log in to follow the service performed on their vehicle and access exclusive discounts, giving the business a tool for customer retention beyond a single visit.
The homepage leads with the business's environmental positioning: a news-slider module explaining the ecological rationale behind dry-wash technology and its water-saving benefits, reinforcing the brand's "green" differentiator in a competitive local market.
