How much do you tip at a carwash?

How much do you tip when your car goes through an automated wash and then a couple of guys dry it off at the end, vacuum inside, wash off the mats, wipe down the console, and do tire dressing? How much do you give each guy?

FWIW, this carwash package costs $18 for my minivan (but I'll be using a $5 coupon).

the car washes around here have a communal tip jar or box. i throw $2-5 in depending on how good a job they do and what kind of small bills i have on hand.

$2-3 for my small sedan; for a minivan I might do $3-4

[bigsis]

$2-$4 depending on cash I have on hand.

Pretty much $2-3.

Thanks for the feedback. Are those amounts for each guy if there are two guys working on your car, or are those amounts the total amount that you would tip? (At this place there's no tip jar.)

We have tip boxes. I am guesses they all share at the end.

That is about the price of that type of car wash in our city, they do the interior vacuum at the beginning. I found out within the last year that the first guys are the new ones, and don't share in the tip I've been giving for the last ten years when I get my car ($6-8 usually, more on holidays like Christmas). So, now I give $2-3 at the start and $6-8 at the end, depending on what change I have. At least $5 seems to be the standard here, $2 would be very low in my area.

ETA There is no tip jar but the 2-3 at the finish share the tips, they just don't kick anything down to the front guys. I thought they all shared before until seeing someone tip the interior guys and asking about it. I have a large car too, and they do a great job.
