um.. zu or "zu" in "help me wash my car"?

Question

Suppose I want to say > I want to find someone who can help me wash my car. Can I say > Ich will jemand/jemanden finden/suchen, der mir helfen kann, mein Auto zu waschen. Do I need an "um" before "mein Auto"? (For the two words for which I provide two alternatives, I think either alternative should work. Is that right?)

Answer 1

'Ich will suchen' would mean 'I want to look for'. 'um... zu' is not needed here because 'um... zu' means 'in order to'. Just like in English you wouldn't say "Can you help me in order to wash my car?".
