Mobile Car Wash?

Anyone have any good referrals for a mobile car wash service? I'm looking to get a service come out to my office and wash my employee's cars while they work (and mine, of course!).

I know of three in the area - Detail Authority in Herndon, Mobile One in Bethesda, and... one other one I can't remember since I'm at home and not at work. Arrgg!

Anyone use any of these services before? I actually went to Detail Authority last year and was very much less than impressed, though I know other DCMM members recommend them. I'd be happy for any recommendations or referrals!

The third one is "On-The-Go Mobile Car Wash". They even offer clay bar detailing which would be nice.

If I had a water tank I'd be more then happy to come help out (not official, but I am an OCD detailer ) As far as your search, I don't know of any good peope in the area...

As a follow up, I had two mobile car wash services over the last few weeks service my MINI and my employee's vehicles. Here's a rundown:

Detail Authority of Herndon (703.978.7800):
Very professional, nice equipment, easy to work with. Provided the certificates of liability coverage and everything else needed to come on to our property. Basic wash for my MINI (including interior, it is the "Hand Wash" package, not offered as mobile service on website, but available for group washes) was $50. Missed a few things like cleaning my cup holders, cleaning door sills and dusting interior vents, but overall nice job. www.waxmycar.com

2 Clean Auto Detailing (571.330.9636):
Another company in my office building set this service up, so I assume they provided all necessary documents to the building management office. Mobile van looked older, and we had some scheduling issues. Basic wash for my MINI ("Just Clean" Package) was $30. Did an excellent job on the interior, everything was done very well. Outside was done well, but for some reason it just didn't seem quite as clean as Detail Authority's job, but I can't place why. The individual gave me some good advice regarding future services for my MINI. http://2cleanauto.com/detailing.htm

In recap, for the cost I would use 2 Clean Auto detailing again. It was $20 cheaper and an overall better job. I know most of you are wash-it-yourself types, but even if you are, this is still a nice service to forward to your HR department at work to have them set up for other employees!
