RINSE! Melbourne Sets a New Attendance Record

12/11/2025 by Australian Car Wash Association

Melbourne delivers the strongest RINSE! event yet.

With more than 120 operator attendees and 32 suppliers showcasing their products and innovations, the Melbourne Rinse! event surpassed even the outstanding success of RINSE! Perth in 2022.

When RINSE! was first envisaged, we would have been thrilled to see a dozen operators in the room and considered 20–30 operators would be a great result. Instead, from Event One in Brisbane back in 2019, operators and suppliers have embraced the concept — valuing its informality, genuine conversations, and the time-efficient format that allows people to connect.

It’s now clear that RINSE! events have become flagship gatherings for the car wash industry across Australia.

Feedback from Melbourne reinforced this. Attendees consistently highlighted the relaxed structure, the openness of discussion, and the chance to talk freely about real challenges and opportunities. And as always, the camaraderie over a few drinks played its part, proving once again that those informal chats often deliver insights you simply don’t get in other situations.  The message from both operators and suppliers was clear: RINSE! is practical, honest, collaborative …and absolutely worth the time.

RINSE! continues to strengthen industry connections, build knowledge, and help operators stay ahead of emerging trends. Melbourne’s record turnout shows just how engaged and forward-focused the car wash sector has become.  It also sets the tone for what’s ahead: Car Wash Show Australia in Adelaide, October 2026.

With momentum growing and industry spirit stronger than ever, we’re well on the way to an exceptional Show.

A genuine thank you to everyone who attended, contributed, and supported the event. Your enthusiasm is what makes RINSE! such a standout success.
