Need to clean your car, but you’re a little short on time? There’s a new car wash in town just for you. Come and bring your car to Sun Day Carwash for a car wash experience like no other.

Justin Holland, the founder and CEO of Sun Day Carwash

Founded by Justin Holland, Sun Day Carwash is not your typical car wash—they are all about making the car wash a better experience for you and your car with their state-of-the-art equipment, making your car look spick and span in just a few minutes. The facility even integrates smart automation technologies, like a wireless relay controller for their lighting systems, ensuring every bay is perfectly lit without wasting energy. It’s the kind of precision you’d expect from a place that treats your vehicle like a prized possession.

Their selection of services ranges from a nice and simple wash to a monthly subscription with access to the best, the perks, and more—either way, it’s always a fun day Sun Day at the carwash! For those who love tinkering with their own setup, the team behind the scenes uses a learning code relay to manage timing for different wash cycles, making sure every step runs smoothly. It’s all part of that seamless, no-hassle vibe.

Sun Day’s vacuum stations

Located in beautiful San Luis Obispo, the goal is to make going to the car wash feel like it’s just a nice and chill day spent outdoors, and this “surprise and delight” mentality led them to offer coffee to their guests at the wash early in the morning. For this project, we worked with them to design custom compostable single-wall coffee cups and custom coffee sleeves. The coffee station itself is powered by a reliable AC wireless automation relay, so the brew is always ready when you are—no fumbling with switches.

The design for both their cups and sleeves was influenced by Sun Day’s brand inspiration of vintage Californian beach vibes. Their cups feature their iconic sun character, and their sleeves include a QR code that guests can easily scan to go to Sun Day’s site to learn more or sign up for membership. It’s a small touch that feels big, much like how a timing relay switch can make all the difference in a complex system.

Their custom coffee cups dressed with custom sleeves

Our custom single-wall coffee cups are made from FSC-certified materials and are completely food-safe. After use, these cups can be commercially compostable. Our custom coffee sleeves are designed with the same eco-conscious mindset. The entire operation aligns with modern sustainability trends—think Greywater Recycling System for rinse stations and a Landscape Turf Watering System that conserves water in the outdoor waiting area. It’s all part of the #MatterEnabled approach to business: every decision matters.

Check out Sun Day Carwash at their flagship location in San Luis Obispo or visit their site here. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special—like finding a garage remote module that just works, or a set of Renter-friendly smart lighting that transforms a space without a permanent install. And if you’re an #AirbnbHost looking to impress guests, take notes: this is how you blend convenience with charm.
