Default Hand car wash

I am interested in learning if there are any hand car washing establishments in The Villages.

Yes, many auto detailers that will come to your house wash, wax, detain interior. IMO you’ll have pay good for the service. If that’s not for you can go to several automatic car washes (spainish springs (SPs) by Lowe’s on 441 cross from SPs or others down south Leesburg area) that does good job and sprays under carriage.

There are a couple spray bays in town if you want to pull in and spray and hand wash yourself. I can get those if you want or are you talking about pay hand wash services?

will tell you the worst thing you can do to the paint finish of your ride, is taking it throw
a car wash, bushes or brushless.

Be smart, wash it by hand.

Any mobile auto detailing company going to had wash car in your driveway if someone don’t want do it themselves. Lady down street has her MBs done every 4 months, looks like new penny when guy done. Course detailing costs. I’ve been if Florida 11 years, maybe done complete wash 3 times. My car doesn’t get dirty down here. Here what 13 years old engine bay looks like with 74K, routine maintenance, and cleaning. Rest is spotless.

Amazing good gas mileage, came down 75 today around 80, 33 miles per gallon, if I was blocking traffic at 70 35 MPG, if I drive around town 26 MPG. Probably the best overall car I ever owned out of around 50. Had zero problems since day drive off dealership lot. I was thinking about trading it over years at least 3 times, then it hit me? Why get ride of perfectly good car.

call Gordon Hamm, 352-396-8509. He details cars for charity. He is a village resident and you pay what you think the job is worth.

I understand what the OP wants. I wish I could tell him, but the only time I see handwashing is occasionally on weekends at a church or school, doing a fund raiser. I always stop at those and get my car washed.

They are excellent. Sometimes the line is long. Anyone know if they take appointments?

AJ Mobile Car Wash.
AJ has been hand washing my car for the past three years. He does a fabulous job and I highly recommend him. I have a Cadillac CT4 and pay $55.00. He charges more for SUV’s.
His number is 352 308 7972. He works during the day and will come after work and on weekends.

That’s always awkward for the customer. We’d have no idea what to offer. Stating a price would be a much better idea. It’s nice though that he does this for charity. He’s a good person.

Yes, car washes are hard on vehicles. Especially the plastic parts.

I tried 1 of those drive thru car washes years ago. Scared me to death. I got out and walked around the car looking for dents. Never again.
