Best Car Washes in Los Angeles???

Finally got my beautiful Monaco Blue baby E91. I'm looking for the best car washes in Los Angeles. I want it to be clean, and I'm really not able to wash it myself where I'm currently living.

Also I'm looking for a good detailer as I'll need that every so often.

Any advice?

Jibber,

This thread didn't help with the detailer question you have?

As for carwashes, not too sure, but you sure you'd rather not wash it yourself?

Well yes. But it's just not a reality for me. I live in an old school urban location with thinish crowded streets. Plus I'm not really the hands-on type so much with cars. I'm a film/video guy. I'd prolly feck it up somehow I'm afraid.

Oh, I see... good touchless carwashes are hard to find in the southbay, that much I know. I always see carwashes that claim they are touchless, but then you drive by and there are guys that are wiping down all the cars. I mean, I guess they are touchless when they go through the wash, but I always wondered if there were any that were COMPLETELY touchless. Because those guys that dry your car with those dirty rags at the end are just begging to put swirls into your paint. Ok, I'll stop rambling now.

dude have lived in LA for 6 yrs the best person is a buddy of mine I met on the movie bedazzled his name is Alan Lee and you can reach him @ Alan@evergloautospa.com tell him Staff Sergant Edwin Johnson told you to contact him. He has the most friendly (enviorment & car) washing and polishing. That when I get my ride in July I'm driving down to say wutz up and have the E 90 squared away. email him and let him hook it up. Your not going to believe the difference he makes.

Every carwash will scratch up your car no matter what, they can wear thoses bracelets and then go hand car wash ur car and scratch your entire car.. Better do it your self .... Best possible way....

I get it - but washing your own car is the safest way - or find a GOOD mobile detailer to come and wash it for you.
