If you had a Mercedes I'd tell you to come see me at the dealership here off Washington/Figueroa but since you don't I wouldn't take it anywhere here in LA. Better off just waiting 'til you go home one weekend.

Go to W.LA for carwash alone? you're kidding right? lol
Anyway you can try Western Ave and 1st street in Koreatown. Nice handwash place. They do lots of luxury cars. They just detailed in-law's work van. Highly recommended.

Look what I do is just go to any car wash place that I can do it myself
and that has a high pressure washer, and it must have a spot free wash!
I do that and never dry it, I wash at night by the way. The next day I
QuikWax and Spray Detail it and she's done, no need to rub any kind of
towel on an Obsidian Black 2IS. The paint is just too damn soft, but for
the next day she's ready for some Zaino Z6

if you must, go to Melrose Strip car wash....110% hand wash, no railings, no machine brushes....wait time is a little longer than most car wash, but you got Urban Outfitters across the street and the rest of Melrose ave to shop around..

but I am with what most people say, washing it yourself is much better...

I see.. This is going to be the first time that I let someone else wash it. I have always washed it on a monthly basis, but now my schedule doesn't permit me to. I'm also buying a car cover because I need to park it outdoors now.
