I live in an apt complex and while I would prefer to wash my car with my own soap and water under some nice shade...alas I cannot. I have been looking for a reasonably priced but good quality place that does 100% hand washes.
I tried the Genie wash on Wm Cannon, and it's nice because it's close to my apt, but it was $29 +tip for a hand wash. They did a great job, but coming from LA where you can get a hand wash for under $10, 29 seems like a lot.
I was thinking of trying the hand wash place on Lamar near downtown...anyone know about it?
Thanks for your help.

Where are you South Austin folks? I see a lot of MINIs when I'm driving through the north, but southside seems to be more sparse. We should try and organize something some time...
On topic: It's good to hear good experiences at the wash place on Barton Springs/Lamar, I've always wanted to give them a shot, but always end up driving by.

This place is good, I often use it for other vehicles. Just keep in mind that they, like most car washes, use recycled oil as tire and bumper dressings. Not much of a problem except when it flies off during driving and gets on your paint.
Recycled oil is MUCH cheaper than armour all like products and most, if not all, car washes use the oil.
I ALWAYS opt out for any kind of dressings on my vehicles, I save the money and use the right stuff when I get home.

Good to know! I wasn't aware of that, so thanks for the info.
