Filthy van. Clean idea.
Spark Car Wash turns its fleet into a before-and-after ad you understand in half a second.
The US chain has wrapped its fleet vans so that one half is caked in grime — convincingly, photographically dirty — while the other half is showroom clean.
The word “Before” sits on the filthy side. “After” on the spotless one. That is the entire ad.

The van drives the point home the moment it pulls into traffic, and anyone who sees it understands the product proposition before it has even passed them.

The QR code on the rear panel — labelled “Scan to clean this van” — adds one final touch of self-awareness that rewards anyone who looks closely enough.
