Default Courtesy reference: Best carwash in your area

I thought I would start this thread as a reference for those seeking reputable places to get their rides washed.

I take my rides to:

Location:
Master's Hand Long Island Hand Wash
255 Hempstead Turnpike Elmont, NY 11003 (516) 326-0490

(lowered cars no problem)

Price:

full service basic
$10.95 early bird special 7a.m.-9a.m.
$12.95 after 9.am.
(will update with prices for other services)

Includes full interior vacuum, interior glass cleaning

Where do you guys take your ride when you do not have the time or energy to wash it at home? Include location, price, & services rendered.

Amoral is great. I used it on my IS when I bought it new, the dash looks phenominal with it. Glossy and clean with no residue. Who says it isnt good? Cheap and works fantastic.

IIRC Armorall is sillicone based and if applied to the dash and exposed to the sun then that leads to cracking.

Miami Car Wash on Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow is the best place for a quick wash in my area. Prices range but I usually get the "south beach" special for about $15 i think... They are usually very thorough but for a full detail I haven't quite found that out yet but they offer that service there.
