Cherry

On-demand car washes

Assuming the Rancho Carne cheerleaders are involved -- and unless it turns out they stole the concept from the black squad -- Cherry might just be the greatest iPhone app concept ever: an insanely convenient service from a U$C business schooler that brings on-demand car washes straight to your whip, no matter where it's parked.

Download the app, map-ify your four-wheeler's location, enter identifying deets (make/model, plate number, and whether or not your AMC Pacer has schwing-worthy flames on the side), and they'll immediately dispatch a pro to soap up your ride whether or not you're even there, though if you have those flames, it's probably worth sticking around to watch the washer be all impressed.

The $29 wash -- which includes an exterior clean, an optional interior clean (you'll need to be there to unlock the car), and an air freshener -- will be auto-charged to your Diners Club card, and once they're finished, you can rate the wash with Cherry paying out bonuses for five-star ratings, giving your scrubber incentive to hook your car up with an awesome sponge bath, so hopefully it's not in a masturbation-restraint contest with your friends' cars.

They'll also keep you in the loop via text updates (i.e., est. time of arrival and completion), and will totally insure your car, meaning that if it incurs any accidental damage, you'll have recourse beyond just giving them the spirit finger.
