"We'll build the best dang car wash in the whole dang world, dang it." — Phineas[src] |
The Phintastic Ferbulous Car Wash is a car wash built by Phineas and Ferb to help Isabella and the Fireside Girls' fundraising to save the Starnose Mole.
History[]
Phineas and Ferb greet Isabella, who tells them about her and the Fireside Girls' endeavors to raise money for an endangered mole. Wanting to help, Phineas suggests trying to do a zip line service, but Isabella is inspired to start a car wash. Materials soon arrive in the backyard via boxes with parachutes, for which the boys check in with the delivery man. Afterwards, construction proceeds smoothly, giving leeway for initial advertisements.
Candace notices her brothers working on something, only to be sprayed by their nozzle before she can question them. With the car wash ready, Phineas and Ferb activate it for the public, all the while Baljeet and Buford promote its cause. Candace enters it in an attempt to stop the boys, accidentally being pushed inside by a conveyor belt. From there, she passes through the wash as if she is a vehicle. Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb advertise their business with a catchy theme.
Near the exit, Candace calls Jeremy to find out if he has arrived there. Learning that he is stuck in traffic, she orders Phineas to speed up the service, which Ferb does, landing her on top of Jeremy's car. Both of them go through the car wash as intended, until the starnose mole emerges from below it thanks to an external influence. As the creature carries the wash through town, the two teenagers slide down its back. Ultimately, the invention is submerged alongside the animal ("At the Car Wash").
Design[]
The Phintastic Ferbulous Car Wash is a multi-floored car wash consisting of an orange pill-shaped center area and four orange, blue, and yellow house-like structures. There are two red and yellow signs with neon lights in the borders to ease finding its location, a yellow sign indicating the hot wax service, and red curtains marking the entrance and exit. A conveyor belt system is utilized to connect its sections, enabling any vehicle to access it. Next to the segments, there are water tanks to facilitate replenishment of the connected devices.
Activities[]
Services offered by the Phintastic Ferbulous Car Wash include soap cleaning, external scrubbing, sideways and frontal polishing, frontal scrubbing, showering, underside scrubbing, waxing, hose overhaul, and water balloon refreshment.

Background Information[]
- The name of the car wash is a play on "Fantastic" and "Fabulous", and the names of its owners.
- The equipment ordered by the boys for the car wash's construction include friction rollers, a spot-free rinser, individual driers, turbo spray nozzles, a jet-powered vacuum, an atomic collider, a cow, and a duck.
- While Candace is talking on the phone with Stacy and Jeremy, a portion of the construction can be observed in the background. In that meantime, the Giant Floating Baby Head passes by, the logo is set up, the pointing sign is moved, the conveyor belts are put together, and equipment and balloons fly by.
- To promote the starnose mole campaign, Baljeet and Buford dress up as the animal and hold signs reading "Save the Mole" and "Wash Your Car".
- According to the advertisement, the car wash has its own commercial, and a tree ornament is earned for every wash.
- Phineas and Ferb use the codenames "Big Squirt" and "Super Suds", respectively, to communicate between each other while in the wash. Both names are references to cleaning, with the former alluding to a gush of water, and the latter referring to wet soap.
- During the car wash's run, two helicopters can be seen flying over it, likely pertaining to the news.
- As shown for Candace, Ferb is able to alter the conveyor belts' speed. This function is not used often as to not overflow the system, thus explaining why they still have to deal with traffic.
- Recreations of the car wash's scrubbers are used to repel Doofenshmirtz-2's invasion of the Tri-State Area (Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension).
- Paper replicas of the car wash's scrubbers are included in the Scrapbook-aganza as part of Candace and Jeremy's memory of going through it ("Cheers for Fears").
