the Price of a Car Wash

At this particular car wash, you get a vacuuming of the inside of the car, an air freshener (your choice of scent), a wipe down of the interior of the vehicle, your cleaned wheels and polished, an exterior wash, a waxing and a hand dry.

Every time I borrow my father's Porsche Carrera, he insists that I take it to the local handwash car wash to get it cleaned before I bring it back. This car wash isn't the best priced car wash available, but you do get what you pay for: great customer service, a really thorough cleaning of the car and a delicacy that is fit for a higher model vehicle. I wouldn't take my 1998 beat-up Toyota Camry to this place, but I'd recommend it for someone who's looking for a car wash that will take excellent care of an expensive automobile.

If you're going to a hand wash place, no matter how high-end it is, make sure you remove any valuables from your car ahead of time. It's best not to tempt fate (or opportunistic thieves) by leaving your wallet, cell phone or change in the car when you hand it over to car wash employees.
