2. A good rule is 20%

On extremely hot days, I'll bump it to 25%. Having worked as a technician in my younger days, I fully appreciate how hot and nasty it is to work on cars (whether its repair, detail, or wash) on a 90+ degree day.

No need to tip individually (unless you're getting an in-depth detail, which includes buffing and/or hand waxing). At most car washes, the tips are collected in a single bucket and distributed evenly at the end of the work day.
