Default 100% Hand Car wash in WLA??

I have a convertible and looking for a purely 100 % hand car wash
I can't seem to find one since most of the Car wash comes with those machine to dry your car.

These guys do a great job.......

If I remember they even washed the stickers clean on the inside of the wheels. That and its always nice to see REAL high dollar cars there waiting with you.

saturday mornings around 9/10 am get pretty packed but that's the best time to spot ferrari, lambo, and bentley. The later was when I saw Game, Eve, and other people. Pretty cool place to get your car detailed and walk the block.

I usually go to the handwash on Santa Monica and Vine (i think)....... or The Chevron on 3rd and La Brea. Both do very good jobs.... Another good option is mobile detailing. They handwash, polish, clay and wax your car for like $240. I loooooove them. www.starrdetail.com

Yeah, i used to go to school near the car wash in melrose.. Around morning/noon you'll see about 40+ cars there in line.

You get to see a lot of exotics though.

No rails. The lot is set up in three areas (suck,wash,dry) and driven between each.

Dude that's for the full detail which is still cheap considering what they do for that package. Your car is still very new the most you need is the express wax.
