I agree. In addition, who knows if they dropped a towel or sponge, how often they refresh the soap/water mixture, or how long it's been since those towels and sponges were cleaned. Too many unknowns. Take it to a touchless if you must, but driveway is always the best.

Here are a few that I found on the detailing directory......

I would suggest you do a little homework on your side and check with the BBB, Citysearch for reviews or ask for references.......

Since I am on te West Coast, I am not sure who would be in your area, but maybe someone below might work for you.

Damn that was harsh. So if the car wash Guy made 20 Bucks an hour it would be ok for him to wash your car? Don't be such an asshole.

He might have been an asshole but it's true.

You're always better doing something yourself. No one will ever take as good of care on your car as you will. Now if you go to a professional detailer/specialist it's different, but that's big bucks. We're not talking a $10 hand wash at "Bob's Goodass Car wash."

OP, I'd expect $35+ for a good hand wash. Anything less, I'd be skeptical.

There are only about a dozen people I would ever let wash my car, and most of them are members here.
