Hand wash or automatic?

Brush-style automatic washes are quick, but they drag grit from the last hundred cars across your paint. That's where most of the swirl marks we polish out come from.

Our hand wash starts with a pre-soak to loosen embedded dirt, then a pH-neutral wash that's gentle on wax and coatings. Wheels, tires and exterior glass are done by hand.

For regular upkeep, the Basic Exterior every few weeks keeps West Texas dust from building up.

How much is a hand car wash in Abilene?

A Basic Exterior Refresh is $55 for a coupe, $65 for a sedan or 2-row SUV, $75 for a truck or large SUV and $90 for a lifted or 2500+ truck. The Full Exterior Refresh is $95, $105, $115 and $135.

How long does it take?

The Basic Exterior takes about 45 minutes. The Full Exterior takes about an hour, or about 1½ hours for a sedan or 2-row SUV.

What's the difference between Basic and Full Exterior?

Basic is a pre-soak, a pH-neutral hand wash, wheels, tires and exterior glass. Full adds bug and tar removal, ceramic wax for gloss and water beading, wheel barrel cleaning, crevice brushing and deep wheel well cleaning.

Is a hand wash better than an automatic car wash?

Brush-style automatic washes drag grit across the paint, which is where most swirl marks come from. A hand wash with a pre-soak lifts the dirt first and touches the paint gently.

Do you clean engine bays?

Yes. An engine bay detail cleans and dresses the engine bay for $75 and takes about 45 minutes.
