“I got the $18 wash, which was very thorough – it was certainly longer (length of actual washing route) and with more cleaning elements than most other drive throughs.”

FAQs
What should I expect when I arrive?
You'll be greeted by friendly, professional people who will guide you through the simple process. Basically, all you need to do is put your vehicle in neutral when asked, and relax! We'll do the rest. We clean the vehicle exterior with gentle cloth washers and mild cleaning solutions. Your wheels and whitewalls will be cleaned, and your vehicle will be rinsed and gently air dried - all automatically, in three minutes or less!
How do you save water?
By comparison with a study showing that the average person uses between 100 and 150 gallons of water when washing a car by hand, our computer-controlled system uses only 30 to 45 gallons of fresh water for each wash, in addition to over 100 gallons of recycled water.
What kind of cleaning products do you use?
Our cleaning products use no acids, caustics or phosphates, and are biodegradable. They are safe for your vehicle and for the environment. To guarantee this, they are manufactured to our specifications by a sister company of Kaady Car Washes. They are made exactly to our specifications to ensure that they are the safest, most effective products available. It's even likely that your vehicle was cleaned with Kaady products before it was delivered to you, since many major manufacturers use Kaady Chemicals either as the final step in the manufacturing process, or to clean them after shipping.
What's the difference between Liquid Polish and wax?
Liquid Polish is a cleaner, not a wax. Think of polishing your fine silver. Liquid Polish helps to remove stubborn stains, and add gloss and luster to your vehicle's existing finish. Wax is a layer of protection between the elements and the surface of your car. You should have a good coat of paste wax applied to your vehicle once a year. If you are uncomfortable doing it yourself, a detail shop can do it for you for around $100.
How do I protect my clearcoat?
Regular application of Ceramic Paint Protection creates a polymer barrier that helps protect clearcoated surfaces from UV rays and airborne contaminants, as well as acids from leaf stains, tree sap, bug spatter and bird droppings ...all of which can eat through the clearcoat and cause permanent damage. Ceramic Paint Protection is designed to provide a protective polymer barrier for up to 30 days from date of application. So make it part of your "routine maintenance" by asking us to include it with your car wash on a monthly basis.
