Which type of wash is right for your car
You want to do it yourself
A self-serve bay costs the least and lets you spend time on wheels, bugs and mud. Bring quarters or a card.
You are worried about scratches
A touchless wash uses only water pressure and soap, so nothing rubs the paint. It can leave heavy grime behind.
You wash every week
An express tunnel with a monthly membership is the cheapest per wash, and most include free vacuums.
You want the inside cleaned too
A hand wash or detailing shop takes longer and costs more, but people clean what machines miss.
