Anyone use the NEW Car Wash on 466a near Lowes yet?

Sweetwater Car Wash.

I heard they opened a couple days ago and had free car washes for a while. We REALLY needed a car wash in the area.

Any feedback from customers yet? I like to wash my own, but occassionally a good thorough car wash, esp the undercarriage is a good thing.

Took advantage of the free wash yesterday.....when I got home my wife looked at the car and said it looked like it was just waxed.....the result was better than any drive through I have used anywhere. I bought one of the Club memberships (not the one that provides that waxed look but may upgrade) since it allows unlimited washes. Think Lovebugs :). We will see how it goes but the initial experience was positive.

They are not cleaning the insides until they can hire adequate staffing but the outside was cleaned very well. They allow you to use the vacuums to clean the insides yourself for free. I had plenty of dead bugs on the front of the vehicle and the wash removed them. So far I'm very satisfied.

OK - plan to go there today. I went into Sweetwater Car Wash web site. Checked services etc.

The Villages is their 5th location in the Greater Orlando area - most in or near Orl. I was very surprised that (per their site), the Express Wash is $10 at our location - $8 at all the other locations. hmmm. And, "The Villages" location is NOT in TV - it's north of 466a - so not paying the TV premium.

I also took advantage of the free car wash and was pleased with the look of my car. So, I will use them instead of traveling way up north to the other car wash on 441.

Is it a 'touchless' auto car wash?

Tell her to pray for rain soon. Car washing is so much easier while it's raining.

She does not like to get wet or would do that

I got the free one Saturday and it was excellent. It was the $25 wash which I think is pricey. Maybe I'll treat myself to one every 3months. I tipped them since it was a freebee.

Dean...it's ON 466A in Wildwood ( not the Villages)

No way. I love my cars too much. Those washes scratch the heck out of your car. That’s why your paint looks like it has swirls. The detailer in me cringes with these washes unless they are 100% touchless.

Have any of you tried washing the car yourself. I do it. Sure you can too.
