A Message from the President of DriWash Global
Michael Yanke, the son of one of the founders of DWG International, is bringing DriWash Back. Here's a message he posted of Facebook on April 21st, 2026:
Good morning… it’s about that time!
To everyone who has stood by this product over the years… thank you. That loyalty matters more than you know.
I stepped away from the company in 2008 to build something of my own, but this was never just a business to me. It’s been part of who I am since I was 12 years old; walking door to door in my neighborhood, selling my first bottle of Dri Wash when it was still pink. That was 6th grade. Back then, I had a vision of one day leading this company.
After years in the family business, I needed to grow beyond it. But the connection never left. When the opportunity came last year to bring it back into my hands, I didn’t hesitate. Corey is still helping me, but we’ve now built everything out of Arizona.
Today, operations are based in Mesa, AZ… just down the road from my home. I’ve spent a lot of my career in the automotive world, and bringing Dri Wash back fits naturally into everything I’ve built. What makes it even more meaningful is seeing the next generation step in. My son… now a college baseball pitcher, is in the warehouse every night after practice, putting in the work. Watching that same spark in him that I had at his age… that’s something I don’t take for granted.
We are moving forward deliberately. Not slowly out of hesitation, but intentionally, because I will not fail this group. I’ve lived both the highs and the hard years alongside many of you. This isn’t about a quick launch. It’s about restoring something the right way… and building it to last.
Our goal is clear: bring this product back to the level it always deserved, and secure the legacy behind it.
We will make mistakes. And when we do, we’ll own them, fix them, and come back stronger. That’s how real businesses are built.
We’ve invested heavily behind the scenes… new development, new infrastructure, new branding, upgraded formula. My team, who has been with me for over a decade, rebuilt everything from the ground up. This is not a repackage. This is a rebuild with purpose.
And as we move forward, I want to be very clear: this is not MLM. This is not affiliate marketing. We are building a traditional business; focused on dealers, partners, and those who helped carry this product to where it is today. Those of you who’ve been part of that journey will not be forgotten.
This company exists today because of you, and those who came before you. I respect that, and I’m committed to honoring it.
I didn’t bring this back as a career move. I brought it back because I couldn’t watch it disappear and I know many of you felt the same way.
So what’s next?
We’re in final production now. Product blending is happening in the coming days to stock inventory and prepare for launch. The systems we’ve built, especially around ordering, shipping, and customer communication, are highly automated. Because of that, we are not rushing this. Launching too early would create avoidable problems, and that’s not how we’re going to do this.
We will launch when it’s ready.
Thank you for being here. Let’s build this back… together.
