I live up in the mountains in a town with dirt roads. I typically only wash my vehicle once every couple of months, and by the time I get home, it's dirty again. Needless to say, it gets really dirty. To top it off, a big-@$$ owl started hanging around and it apparently doesn't like the color of my vehicle, so it tries to paint it white.
I had an appointment down in Golden and decided it was time to wash my car so that I could see out of the windshield again. I did a Google search for a decent car wash and Take 5 popped up close by. So, OFF I went!
I pull up to the wash selector/pay machine, and a dude runs out to explain the washes. Very nice dude with great customer service ethics! The prices seemed a bit steep, but they guarantee the wash and allow you to go through a second time if it's not clean enough. So, I get the top wash.
This is one of those long carwashes where you drive up onto a track and it pulls you through the different stations. I had been through a bunch of these, but something about this one was a bit different. I couldn't put a finger on it though.
I get through and head over to the vacuums to check out if I needed to go through again. Almost all of the other washes like this that I've been through will always miss certain areas: behind the side view mirrors, most of the bottom 8" - 10" of the doors behind the front wheels to the back wheels, license plate, bottom of rear bumper, the edges of windows, front grille, rims, yadda. So, I grab a provided rag expecting to wipe down these areas.
I didn't find a spec of dirt on my car! None, nada, zilch! There was some VERY slight spotting on my windshield due to minerals in the water, but you could barely see it. Took me about two minutes to walk around and wipe down the windows, and my car looked as if it were professionally detailed! Bee-YUtiful! It even got rid of the owl's defilement!
This is, by FAR, the best carwash I have ever been to, and well worth the couple extra $$!! read more
