The Only Hand Car Wash in Richmond
Every other car wash in the city runs your car through an automated tunnel. We don’t. No spinning brushes, no shortcuts; two people, two hands, your car.
Your Car, Looking Like Itself Again
Choose your package, drive in, drive out. Whether it’s a weekly reset or the first wash in six months, we don’t judge the condition, we just fix it.
// Why Hand Wash?
Why Hand Wash Instead of an Automated Tunnel?
Automated tunnel washes run your car through spinning brushes and chemicals, wash after wash. Hand washing is gentler on your paint than repeated tunnel contact.

FAQ
Do I need an appointment for the express wash?
No. That’s the whole point of our Richmond hand car wash. Pull up to 5711 Grove Ave and drive out clean. No booking required.
What’s the difference between the express wash and a full detail?
The express wash is exterior only, built for speed. A full detail covers interior and exterior, plus paint work.
Will a hand wash scratch my paint like automated washes can?
That’s exactly why we offer hand washes. No spinning brushes dragging grit across your clear coat, just careful hand contact every time.
