Cold Weather Ducking: Winter Jeep Ducks and How the Plastic Behaves

Duck duck jeep does not stop for winter. Ducks still get left on mirrors, rolled across dashboards and tucked into door pockets in February, which means a duck that will live in a vehicle through a cold season meets temperatures well below freezing, repeated cycles of it, and sunlight that still works on the plastic…
Car Wash and Detailing Brands: Ducks as a Drive-Through Giveaway

Car wash economics run on repeat visits, and repeat visits run on habit.
