There are thousands of them in The Villages; it’s called a driveway. But it does involve DIY, which the largest percentage of Villagers refuse to do. I can’t recall ever going to a car wash where I paid someone to clean my car.

I discovered a hand wash service in Wildwood . A fellow and his two sons.
They operate out of the self-serve car wash on RT. 301 [ 435 Main Street ] .
They use the bay closest to the building .
Used them this past week and they did a great job including a spray wax for $20 .

Like everything else, If you want it done right, do it yourself. Nobody washes my car but me.

Not as easy of a business as it appears to be. I have first-hand knowledge.

I also have never been to a better Car Wash than Atlantis. If it was a half hour away from my house I would really think that it is worth the ride. You could couple it with

something else you have to do up this way. Most important things when you move, Good Pizza, no comment, Good Chinese food, several around our home that are ok, a

great barber, barbers galore, good car wash, we have two. LIFE IS GREAT!

Default Touchless Carwash

Sam's Club has two options, touch less and brushes. We choose neither since our manufacture cautions against the harshness of the detergents the car washes use.

Washed the car at the house yesterday. 20 minutes, a bit of exercise, clean car and money saved.

I find car cleaning a waste of time. Leave it and just put it out on drive when heavy rain forecast, and it never looks to bad.
The garage that do my annual service always wash and clean inside and out after, so I never bother from one year to the next.
I always remove the beer cans, fag ends, used rubbers, and Macdonalds stuff before each service, as I don't want the garage to think I am some sort of slob!

Not sure what you mean. There are two choices, one uses brushes, but the other one only has water touching the car. Isn't that what they call touchless?
