Best Washington County Car Wash
 
Where do you guys go to wash your car in Washington County? I would wash the car myself , but no garage :iono: and the self wash service I know is horrible. Let me know your top pics and why it has treated you well.

I've never gone to a car wash, so I can't help you there. I'd take a bucket and a wash mitt to a self serve if I was without my own place. Don't use their brush!

I used to go to a do it ur self with my bucket and mitt. Sometimes I'd get dirty looks but who cares. Those brushes are full of rocks and dirt. And a drive though wash can leave swirl marks and scratches.

National Pride car wash on Cedar Hills in Beaverton is my favorite. It's just a bit nicer than most of the other manual washes.

They have a carpet shampoo machine as well.

When I don't care to hand-wash, there is a touchless at the 76 on Cornell and 185th. On nice days it is pretty busy. The highest tier wash is like $10, and they hand wipe it dry at the end even after it has gone through the hurricane drying cycle (I haven't decided if this is a good or bad thing, since they don't always look like microfiber cloths and there's no way of knowing if they have junk embedded in them).

I normally wash at home but I have also gone to a coin-op over on TV Highway (Aloha Car Wash) between 198th and 185th which is pretty good, but I only really go there because it is the next most convenient. I bring my own microfiber mitt and avoid using the brushes there because you just don't know who last used it for what. Places typically discourage you from using your own mitt since you aren't using their paid foamy brush on the clock, but I found you can't get to everything with that either. So far I haven't been hassled on it, but I also go when all the stalls aren't busy.

Hmm. I might try Aloha car wash out since it's pretty close. Thanks for the insight!

Sweet. 24/7! :w00t: Really leaning towards this place. Pretty good reviews also. I just hope they don't throw a fit when I bring my own equipment. Thanks!

Have you considered waterless or rinseless washes? I use them when it's too cold or rainy out. Both the Adam's Polishes Waterless and Rinseless work very well.
PM me, I can demo them for you.
