Anywhere I can hand wash my car near Palo Alto?

Does anyone know of somewhere in the Palo Alto area I can go to hand wash/bucket wash my car? There's one self-serve place near me but they don't allow bucket washing there and they just have some sort of push broom with a hose attached to it you're supposed to use and I'm not letting that near my paint. So far I'm just using the automated touchless car wash at the Chevron station but I'd like to hand wash my car at least some of the time, when I can take the time to do it properly. Washing in the driveway is pretty much out of the question where I am.

I've done hand washing in a stall wash before. Just gotta go super early when there will be no one there.

I go when no one is waiting, and I keep the meter going. That way I do right by them and get the wash I want.

I'll probably just go ahead and do this if I can't find somewhere else soon. The place I'm looking at has always been crowded when I've gone, but it's mostly just people lining up to use the vacuums rather than the wash stalls. If nothing else I at least need to just go and wash my rims since the Chevron car wash doesn't do anything for them (or the rear diffuser for that matter).

Thanks for the responses. If anyone has more to contribute keep it coming please.
