Mataa Castis Monde: Prisca Chewe the norm is when you take your car for a wash you leave the keys so that after the car is washed it is then moved to a different spot so that it can dry, secondly to avoid it getting dirty from splashes coming from other cars being washed and also to pave way for others cars to be washed.
Edna Kimberly Stima: Prisca Chewe some people leave the keys at the car wash so that when there done cleaning they can move it to the other side to create space for other vehicles to be cleaned.
