(hand) car wash in the bay area
if you had to, where do you guys take your cars for a wash? i'm assuming everyone here opt for hand wash only. i normally take my m5 to Pacific Car Wash over by Irvington district in Fremont. hand wash for $25. the gt3 i've been washing it myself on my drive way but there's been a few times where i just want someone else to do it.

any of you have a car wash place that you trust with your p-car?

I only take my cars to Auto pride, one in San Carlos North of holy on El camino and also one in Palo alto south of university on El camino. Love it. All by hand no swirls and reasonable price.

I second Auto Pride, though I usually try to wash mine myself.

ADS-Mobile in San Bruno. After getting your car detailed by ADS, you can come back for hand wash & wax for $25.

Pacific Hand Wash in Campbell on Bascom. Does a nice job. I like how they use the compressed air to get the water out of all the creases.

I third AJ's... had my old 1999 with alot of swirl marks polished like new! They even had a headlight polishing service that did wonders for my litronic headlights. Great service!
