Here is what you're looking for:

1. download this open-source free tool, TitelCoinifier from Github

2. it's portable so just double click and run it as admin.

3. this tool is Exactly made for changing PWA, custom links, custom pinned programs on start menu, so for example if you have both Twitter app (installed from Win Store) and Twitter PWA app on start menu, this tool only shows you the PWA version when you type the App's name in its search area.

4. select your PWA app, then double click on icon area to select an .ico file.

P.S you can download .ico files from Internet, just type "download ico file for Carwash app"

or you can make your own ico file, then you need to covert normal PNG/JPEG file to ico. Photoshop doesn't do it by default, it needs a free plugin which you can get from here

or use online sites like this

you can't access the ico file of the installed Windows store app, those files are restricted and locked by the system, changing folder permissions mess things up later.

5. after you select your ico file, use the Sliders to make the icons look bigger and fit.

you can press this button here to auto-resize the icon for you.

6. once you're satisfied with the size, click on "Tile Iconify!" button and you're done.
