A combination of no time and laziness has made my wrx extremely dirty. Anyone know of a good hand car wash in the south bay?

classic car wash off 17 and hamilton

if you go to their website, they have coupons for 12.99 or something compared to almost 20 bucks for a wash.

does the 12.99 include wheels, vacuuming, and inside of windows? :D

thanks for the reply... is it a true 'hand only' wash or does it go thru a tunnel

I know this is not southbay, but in burlingame there is one where you go through a tunnel, instead of machines, however, you got four people in this "tunnel" soaping your car and then it runs to be sprayed clean and air dried before they dry by hand. if you exit broadway, its before the railroad tracks(turn left, right around mike harvey acura?).

I've been the the place by McCarthy Ranch. I think it goes through a tunnel (I'm not sure as I've never walked around back) but they do an awesome job.

the one at macarthy ranch is a hand wash...well kinda...they do an awesome job tho. it goes thru a short tunnel but before the tunnel a guy preps it by spraying it down and then wipping it...then it goes thru some high pressure liquids and then when it comes out the rest is done by hand.

theres one on el camino in sunnyvale near mary & bernardo...they do a really good job also...its not completely hand wash but its the same as the macarthy ranch one but about half the price.

Never bothered me nor caused me to think twice about it. They always do an awesome job.

That parking lot is WAAAY too small to joyride in. Not to mention no one really wants to joyride my car. It's not exactly that type of ride.

It's in SJ close to the airport. They do great work. Prices are a bit higher but you get what you pay for. $35 for a mini-detail, $45 for Express wax... etc. Wash is less, I think.

Yah I saw their pricing a bit high. I'll have to fork out the money and get a good wax.

-1

I took my car there once, and it came out looking like it was washed with a Brillo pad.

But then again, I haven't yet found a commercial car wash that can wash a black car without putting swirl marks in...
