Good Car Wash Woodland Hills?

Anyone know a good place to wash your car....I usually prefer the ones that have the sprayers that you just do yourself. I guess I am bad at trusting people.

So most likely something you can do yourself, unless you guys know of a really great car wash.

Well actually I live in an apartment complex so my car is parked in an underground garage. So as much as I would love to wash the car myself I have yet to find any area in the garage that has a line to connect a hose to. So I will have to wash it somewhere else.

Again...cant find a place to connect a hose to...so unless i want to be running up and down a couple flight of stairs with buckets of water I do not think that would be such a great idea.

The spray washes usually work the best for me since i then do not have to touch the car with anything until after 99% of the dirt is off the car. I feel like as you wash your car the thing you are wiping on your car picks up the dirt....even the smallest amount of dirt puts tiny swirle marks on the car. So I would rather do some sort of a hands free wash until it is amost clean and then wash it by hand.

Try a waterless wash formula. It's used by pro mobile detailers and is perfectly safe for your paint's finish. No hose needed or water source needed. See link for one of the best options on the market:

Woodland Hills in the house!
