Our Bubbles Express has a lot lower monthly rates. I think it starts at 17 per month and goes up to 34 or something. For a whiteout their automatic tire shine doesn't work too well. It sprays enough that the wheels sling it across the sides.


Once a lip and sideskirts are in place... I wouldn't take it to any conveyor belt wash.

I also live in an apartment complex, unfortunately the parents live approx 35 miles away so I usually pony up the $$$ for the hand car wash across the street...they always do an amazing job so its worth it, although I would love to be able to take the time to wash her myself, something about washing your own ride that puts me in a Zen-like state

ONR with two buckets at my apartment. Gets the car just as clean as a wash with a hose. If it doesn't then you're not doing it right.

Now doing a waterless after weeks of neglect when dirt is caked on is a different story. Then you run the risk of scratching the paint
