A couple weeks ago I finally got my car washing setup complete in the garage I built last fall.
Water softener, 19 gallon water heater inside the cabinet left of the softener, PEX plumbing inside the cabinet to mix hot and cold with ball valves, then routes to a single ball valve faucet.
Then I found a nice hose real http://www.rapidreel.com/product-category/garden-hose-reels/. Not cheep, but very well made. Even has a brake on it so it doesn't keep turning after you stop pulling the hose (backlash if you're a baitcast fisherman).
With that done, the shelf went above it for the stereo, a 2004 Harmon Kardon, and circa 1986 JBL L80T speakers--which are awesome.
Added a cabinet to store microfiber towels and wash stuff . . . and currently 3 sets of rotors. Not sure why, but the cabinet sure is stable.
And of course, my Boss beer fridge, currently stocked with Guinness and Smithwicks.
I keep the doors closed to keep dust out when washing, but wow, does it get humid when washing a car. Dehumidifier goes into overtime to catch up.
If you can get soft water to your car washing spot, I highly encourage you to do so. You'd be amazed how nice it works.
