I brought my car in for a basic wash yesterday, and let me begin by saying my car was straigh-up filthy. I took it up to Tahoe the weekend before, and it got plastered with road salt, grime, dirty snow, etc. I normally handwash the car myself at a coin-operated car wash bay, usually the one on 16th and Potrero, but I did not want to clean up this mess. The filthiness of the car made heads turn, and I'd forget where I parked because I just didn't recognize it anymore. Anyway, this place is great for 3 reasons: 1) All hand washed. There's not a single mechanical brush or scrubber touching the car. Two men with what looked like micro-fiber wash clothes scrubbing down all sides. I watched, and they covered 2) Post-wash care included thorough drying and spot cleaning interior windows and wheels. 3) Cheap, for what you get. I usually wash my car for $10-14 at a car washing bay, but the time it takes me for wash then dry and touch up the interior is at least an hour, usually more. For ~$20, you get all this, done within 20 min of your time. My car came out spick and span. I'm definitely coming back. Get the basic wash, it's enough. If you want extra detailing on your car (spray wax, clay bar, carnauba wax, etc), take it home afterwards and DIY! This place is a great deal.
