Best Car Wash in LA valley ?

MEMMEZZ · 07-18-2010, 01:49 PM

I was wondering where is the best place to get a wash in the LA valley/San fernando valley area. A place that does only a hand wash obviously and a quality job. Any ideas? preferably around Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Encino, Sherman Oaks. Thanks.

I personally went to Devon and Reseda.. liked them for the first 2-3 car washes.. then noticed curb rash on my wheels as it goes thru an automatic car wash b4 they hand dry the cars.. The automatic car wash also has a chance to get water into your engine which is a "NO NO" so that might be something to stay away from as it has gotten into my engine and has forced me to wait for the car to drive (Thanks Shayan for telling me what to do on that occasion,

)
I would just wash your own car until someone post of a great hand wash center.

Hope that helps

The best car wash in any city is the one you do after buying the proper supplies and following the correct techniques. Even the hand wash places have issues because they have to pump those cars through quickly and doing so requires some practices that are not in the best interest of your paint. Even if you live in an apartment that does not have a car wash area there are techniques that just require some solution and 2 gallons of water that are safer for your car.

Well whatever you do.. don't go thru the auto thing

i pay extra to have it 100% hand wash

their track would kill my rims

You know your engine gets wet when you drive through rain, right?

Sonora Car Wash in Glendale (Sonora/Victory) is awesome. And so is Crista Car Wash (Bouquet Canyon Rd) in Valencia.
