I go to Sweetwater @ Trailwinds once a month. At the end of the wash the giant blowers get the water off my car. I don't see the need for towels.

Wow!!! Such a tiny thing turned into a big deal. Some people have no idea what an actual problem looks like.

Sweetwater is 4 minutes from my house. No desire to drive to Mr. Clean so I don't have to...wait for it....CARRY a cloth in my vehicle!

Would someone please build a new Car Wash that does the entire job like the place near Walmart on 441 or The Villages Car Wash? It will be a Cold Day In Florida before I ever was my car again. I can remember being so excited when we first moved down here and I went to The Aquarius Car Wash, just remembered the name. They took our car that just survived the ride down here and put it in showroom condition. It was a disgrace. It was like I killed every bug on Route 95 on my own. The shame is they can't get workers anymore because the prices are so high that nobody tip's very well.

Whatever, when I need a good wash it's back to The Villages because it's worth the ride and they do a phenomenal job. I think prices start at $25.00 and it's worth every penny.

You know these rags they want my license for? They can take them and stuff 'em. That's enough! Now I'm upset. I'm with the OP 10,000 %. Great post OP! What ever happened to customer service?

Dont mind paying more for a good job.

Exactly my point- If you are paying for a car wash, you shouldn't have to get outside to finish the job. That was bad enough , but now they want to hold the towels that you should not even need. Dont mind paying more for a good job.

Sweetwater will do the same (full service) for $27.

Although I skip the full service, maybe the people who hate to carry a large, heavy towel around in their vehicle could use this service :)

I wouldn't know first hand so to speak but is that what is known as a Happy Ending?

It's worth it. Before I read this thread I was going to ask about any recommendations on a mobile detailer but I was ascared I would be directed by someone to read the past posts. I like the current info coming from my Compadres on TOTV'S! You pick up what I'm laying down? :pepper2:

To each their own. I get it. I went past that Sweetwater Joint the other day and didn't have time to stop. We had an emergency trip to Sam's Club for Argentinian Red Shrimp. Three bags weren't enough! I got a quicky at Sam's for $7 bananas. Should have skipped it cause it was garbage. Live & Learn. I'm a Car Wash Fanatic. I want it done correctly. What do you want for seven bucks? A towel to finish drying the car? :boxing2:

I'm learning my way around down in these here parts. I'll say one thing for my new general neighborhood, far be it for me to stir the pot but the drivers down here are way more aggressive than in The Historic Section. I think there should be a Prozac Dispenser at every traffic light down here. Everyone breathe. You are going to get wherever you are aimed at sooner or later. Jeez!! :ohdear:

After returning the cloths, we could have our license back.
Go there every few weeks and this is apparently their new policy.
I am not giving some kid i do not know my drivers license. They said it is due to the cloths being stolen. Needs to be a better way. Will not go back there
Sounds like they are going to the cruise line system...LOL ! Lots to consider here. Tend to agree with you that I'd not feel comfortable with anyone ("kid" or adult), just collecting a drawer full of DL's and yes, how does one know if they are being copied or not. SHOWING is one thing, collecting and keeping... not comfortable. Actually I'd be more comfortable with leaving $5, or even keys, over my DL. But they can require anything they want.... and there are so many car washes in the Villages, easy to find one where you are more comfortable ! I agree.
