Regarding the name - its too close to the Chinese car manufacturer 'Chery' for my liking. If they expand into the USA (as they have recently into other countries) it may cause confusion....

Re: Startup will wash your car wherever it is located
#43I love the idea ("Uber for carwashing!") but I have some doubts. The price point is too low for me to believe they'll do a decent job. There are already mobile car detailers here in Portland, and a good exterior detail costs around $100. That's because the companies are licensed and bonded. If I'm going to go cheap on a car wash, I'll do a $6 drive-through special at Washman on my way to the grocery store. Not knowin…
It's clearly not a detail. I'd guess the quality will be a little better than a $5-10 wash from a machine- a little more expensive because of the "we come to your car", and also because they cannot bring along the machinery and water recyclers that allow $3 washes.
If they are willing to break out the mitts and buckets of soapy water though, you could have a real nice wash there. Wash != detail, but leaps and bounds ahead of a machine. This is not outside the realm of possibility; I remember my local hand wash place back in the Valley was about $20.

#44Cherry is the carwash that comes to you. Park anywhere, check in online, and we'll wash your car right where you left it. Just $29 per wash, tip's included.
But, what if I don't believe in tipping?

#45How did the startup that made cheese sandwiches go?
It got $10 million in funding in June. http://gawker.com/5807591/grilled-cheese-sandwich-gets-10-mi... https://themelt.com/
This place is actually pretty legit. They've got a location in the Stanford Shopping center in Palo Alto, and its rather impressive. I'm sure the founder is exaggerating the "innovation" in his descriptions, but who says someone can't start a restaurant chain?

Through the magic of this advanced iPhone technology, people
will be able to enter a restaurant and emerge minutes later with a
hot sandwich.

#47What happens if someone claims cherry scratched or left a ding in their car when they didn't. Couldn't someone pay $29 for a wash just to get something fixed.

Then don't use the service, or ask if they will do it for $0 tip? You might not like their answer though.

If you squint your eyes, and tilt your head slightly to the left, a franchise is like a software business.
