In 2015, Yuqi and Valters came to O‘ahu to work, explore, and experience the island’s culture. They met while working in restaurants and quickly became close friends — connecting with locals, learning Hawai‘i’s history, and discovering the true meaning of aloha.
After returning home, they both knew one day they’d come back — to give back to the island that had shaped their lives.
In November 2024, that vision became reality when they returned to Hawai‘i and co-founded WASHD — a locally owned, eco-friendly car care company delivering professional detailing straight to O‘ahu’s residents.
Unlike traditional car washes that use 50–80 gallons of water per vehicle, WASHD uses only one gallon thanks to advanced 400°F steam technology imported from Europe. This method cleans, sanitizes, and refreshes without chemicals, runoff, or pollution — keeping Hawai‘i’s oceans clean and blue.
Today, WASHD stands for more than convenience — it’s about caring for cars and caring for Hawai‘i.
To grow from Hawai‘i to the rest of the U.S., building a trusted household brand that transforms car care into a lifestyle — proudly founded and rooted right here in Hawai‘i.
