A squeegee squad is expanding its business in Baltimore, and instead of just cleaning windows, they're washing cars.The G300 Squeegee Boys said there's no job too small or too big for them. With some help, they were able to take their business to the next level.For Nick Rock, washing windshields helps support his family."My mother is a single mom with eight kids," said Rock, who is president of the G300 Squeegee Boys.Now, the business is expanding."We're doing their whole car. Instead of their windows looking good, their whole car is looking good in and out," Rock said.From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, drivers pulled up to the Squeegee Wash."I was going to go to a car wash, and when I found out that they were out here doing this, I came all the way out here to support them," said Larry Wallace, a customer.Taurus Barksdale, who is running to represent the 6th District in the City Council, helped get the new business up and running. He's hoping to motivate young people across the city."This is the first Squeegee Wash in the city, the first squeegee car wash the city has ever had, and this is here to stay. We're going to do a Squeegee Wash every Saturday. We can do it in east Baltimore, we can do it in west Baltimore, but they have to show us good behavior. If they show us good behavior, we will bring the car wash to them," Barksdale said."We're trying to make a positive with our life. We're not trying to squeegee all our life because we know that's not the right way. It's good for now, but it's not good for long," Rock said.A location for the next Squeegee Wash hasn't been announced.
