Exiting wheel bright and tire shine.
Sidney W.

The prewash section is the best: long brush with plastic bristles to get the stubborn bugs off, short handle plastic bristles for the tighter spots and finally a soft sponge to get inside your rims where brake dust collects. All of these tools are soaking in a big tub of soapy water which is drained daily unlike other car wash pretreatment tubs full of sand and bugs. The car wash itself pours the largest amount of soap and water I've ever seen. I'm still puzzled at how so much solution discharge is profitable. If you choose the additional tire shine you won't be disappointed by the usual hit and miss patchwork of regular machines. The free vacuum area contains over 20 powerful vacuums with its own garbage can for larger debris. It really is the best bang for your buck.

Best Drive through car wash I've been to spent $12 got a quality wash. It was well worth it. Their machines aren't dirty they keep their stuff clean.

Directions were not clear and the person guiding me wasn't helpful and distracting from the directions they had.

Review Highlights - Tropic Car Wash

There is a spacious area for the vacuums, but pro tip: use the vacuums on the side of the car wash for stronger suction.

I recently got a ceramic coating applied to my new car, and I was advised to only wash it using…read moresoft cloths or non-touch carwashes. I'm a little too busy and lazy to wash my own car (plus I have no hose connection on my house. Weird, huh?), so I searched for a manual or touchless carwash. I found On The Spot through a Google search, and decided to give it a try because it's close to my work. I called and spoke to Tyrone. I think he's the owner, and he was very accommodating about getting my car scheduled quickly for a simple exterior wash. That particular service isn't listed on their standard menu, but Tyrone quoted me a reasonable $50 to hand wash and vacuum. When I arrived at my appointment time, I was promptly greeted and invited to wait inside in the AC (thank God) while my car was washed. I left my car where it was and went in. The waiting area is simple but comfortable with a TV playing some recent NBA game. It wasn't long before I was being called back out because my car was done! It was surprisingly fast, and my car looked great! I had even asked if they would apply a tire dressing I had brought myself, and they did it with no problem and no extra charge. Overall, I'm very happy with the service and value of On The Spot, and I'll be using them for my regular car washes. I think I'll explore the detailing at some point too. The location is a little buried in the Clearview/Veterans area behind the freeway entrances, but it's worth the hunt. Thanks Tyrone!

Long enough to remember when it was 5.00 for a basic wash. Now it's 12.00. I feel like it was only like 10 years ago when it was 5.00 so that is 240 percent increase in 10 years! Insane. Yeah yeah yeah, I know I sound like an old man yelling at clouds with my "back in my day" review. However, I also feel like they sped the wash up and it's not really getting the car all the way clean. When I pulled out of the wash, I noticed soap all over my side mirror. See picture. I believe that's because the wash is moving faster and not letting the car rinse off. Would you get out of a shower before you got all of the soap out of your hair? No, you stay in until it was washed off. Anyway, I will probably still come in for my bimonthly car wash, but I will keep skipping the "free vacuums" since they are worthless. The workers are friendly and the place is convenient for me.

I had no intent of washing my own car or wait in the heat for a hand wash by someone else. So I opted to try something new. This was my first time going through a drive thru car wash and I was pretty satisfied by the outcome. I got the express wash for $8 and there was an attendant at the machine to take my payment. The drive through for the express option took around 5 minutes and I was out of there. By the time I got home, I realized the roof of my car had some type of film still on it, but for the most part my car was clean. Overall, for the price, it was more than half the cost of paying someone to hand wash my car, and my car was pretty clean. If I need another car wash in a hurry, this will be my go to. Location is pretty convenient on Veterans and besides drive through, you can also wash and vacuum your own car. There are other packages/upgrades you can purchase. I think the most expensive car wash was $16 and vacuuming is free with washes.

When I pulled out of the car wash they were both having a cigarette break and playing on their cell phones. I guess they were so rude and hurrying me so they could take an extra cigarette break and phone break. No need for this ugly behavior.
