Does anyone know of a car wash place in OC (anywhere from mission/aliso Viejo to santa ana area) that has a car wash that doesn't have rails? my car is too low to get onto any of the places with a rail and before you ask why I don't wash it myself I can't because I live in an apt and don't have access to a hose but also because sometimes I just want a quick wash.

thanks,

There's a self wash place off of Euclid after the 22 I think in garden grove or on Bristol exit 405 and make a left assuming you're coming from irvine. It's all self wash stalls

Best wash hands down. They use more soap on your wheesl then others use on the entire car.

thanks for the suggestion, just checked their rates, $50 for a hand wash though

edit, i'm assuming that their regular $18 wash is thru a machine on rails? is that right? my biggest concern is my car's height and not being able to make it on these tracks

I have exactly the same problem as you.

Stop being lazy and clean it yourself. Get a bucket of water, add a cup of no rinse solution. Clean and wipe off/dry with towel. No need to rinse. I know it's weird but it works.

I usually wash my car myself, but when I'm too lazy, I used to take my car here:

Now when I'm lazy, I take my car here:

Prices are decent at both. No rails.

i actually used that back in college, didn't work very well to be honest in my opinion, and although it says the first clean gets rid of the dust i was still scared of using the same down to wash the paint without water running..

It is not too bad overall. I just don't like they put too much condition on my lather seat.

$18 bucks and no rails plus they have free Keurig coffee inside the waiting room.

I've been to that one a few times in my 335i they did a decent job, but they have rails (my 335i wasn't dropped so it wasn't a problem)
