This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods related to washing a vehicle in a car wash. In an example method, a car wash controller in a car wash detects a vehicle inside a bay of the car wash and selects a piece of equipment for washing a certain portion of the vehicle. Selecting the equipment may be based on an amount of dirt present on the portion of the vehicle, which can be, for example, a front portion, a rear portion, a side portion, a roof, or an underbody of the vehicle. The car wash controller may query a driver of the vehicle to determine a detergent preference. A car wash system computer in the vehicle may specify an amount of water to be used for washing the vehicle. The car wash controller washes the portion of the car using the detergent and the specified amount of water.
