Where do you get your car washed?

Looking for a great car wash that makes the mini sparkle. I loved Mr. Wash in Arlington but have since moved east to Annapolis, and have a reaaallly dirty car

What's your favorite?

There is some crazy guy on here who got a dealer loaner and decided to take it home and give it the full detail job.....

If he does THAT for free, Just imagine the kind of service you would get if you gave him a 20 spot.

I live just down the street from there. I drove by this morning around 9:30a and they had the sherriff out there waving off traffic because the lines were full (and they don't want it backing up into the neighborhood or onto Glebe Rd.

BTW, they just re-opened this week after being closed for a month or two to retool. I use them regularly for my Navigator, but not sure if I'll take my MINI through there in the Winter. For now, hand washing and Zaino for our MINIs...

I tried the Mr. Wash on Glebe and they did not do as nice a job on those "it is way too cold to wash in MINI in the driveway" days last winter as David's II on South Four Mile Run.

But, make a point to get there early in the day (like be in line when they open.) I have noticed as the guys get tired later in the day, the quality goes down.

one of the sponsors at the Navy Football games, I think is called Annapolis Car Spa. I have never used them as I hand wash mine. At every game they give away two or more complete auto detailing. I Googled the name and came up with an address of 820 Spa Rd., Annapolis, MD. good luck

Where in Naptown do you live? We're just north, in Severna Park.
I've been actually washing my car myself, but there is a place on Rt.2 north that's called Bay Imports that will hand wash for 25 bucks....
There's a new car wash place across from Harbour Center. I haven't tried them yet, but it's an option.

Maritime Carwash is what the one across from the Harbour center is called. I have a friend that is a manager or something of importance(as important as you can be in the car washing business). He says it is a great place and good for the money, but he works there. If I ever use it I will let you guys know.
