I did a search and all that came out were threads on detailing. I'm looking for hand wash, no pressure washers, no railings.. these are my only requirements.. i dont want wax, just soap and water and dry.. and no automated car washes.

Any recommendations around San Jose? Thanks a lot!

I know the Place on Capital/Story but does sum pressure washers to get the soap on it then they go threw the water machine to rinse but they do a good job cheap.16-18bux if u get it hand waxed as well. its like 40 bux.

i cant wax it or pressure washer cuz i got new paint on my side and it needs time to heal so handwash until 60-90 days.. and im lazy

awe i know uhh Cheveron has there own 100% hand washing by Macarthy ranch, and there is a Valero/cheveron off 880 on montague before old Oakland that does 100% hand washy.

thanks! i'll check them out

Classic car wash on Almaden/Cherry is hand wash but has railings... if your wheels arent too wide you would be fine, i happen to have a coupon book for 3 free washes there (about $16 value each) i can sell you all 3 for $30 if your interested.

I wash my own car so I have no need for this, but i have taken my car there in the past and they do a good job, lemme know

Country Car Wash on Stevens Creek does hand wash without the machine they usually use... Not sure how much the hand wash alone is... I think it's $30

ill wash it for money! lol

thanks for the inputs frog, stephan, don! i'll check them all out next week.

haha V, u might end up washing yourself

but it's gunna be raining the whole of next week.. so probably will do it the following week

I freakin love this place. It's been a while, but their standard car wash was $15 the last time I went. It's been a couple years so maybe their prices have gone up a couple dollars, hopefully not to $30 though. It's pretty cool, they have your car on a conveyor thing but instead of having a bunch of automated brush machines, it's basically an assembly line of dudes with towels. (no homo) Then they usually have 1-2 guys dry your car+vacuum your. They even use a little air gun to get out all of the water from around the seams.

I really like Classic Car Wash also, but never went there too often.

Beshoff Infiniti off Tully does awesome hand washes with the two bucket system, just like I would at home.. and you guys know how picky I am. They even have a separate indoor washroom for the washes - no machines to be found.

really? i should ask to see there "washroom" next time im there.

+1 for Beshoff Infiniti. hell, they'll even detail your car too for cheap, talk to Beshoffdru or BeshoffBrian and see if they could hook you up with that 99 detail special! nice wash outside, good detail both outside and inside! --cant go wrong

problem is i cant detail.. only soap and water.. cuz my new paint needs time to heal.. and im lazy to wash it myself

thanks for the inputs everyone! I'll check them out next week.. or maybe the following week since I see the forecast for next week is all rain rain rain

the best hand car wash you can get.......

your own 2 hands!!!
