Hand Car Wash Denver?

Hey all,

So I live downtown and don't have a readily available home/driveway to hand wash the car. Also given that auto car washes and handheld/spray ones can be harmful to the paint - does anyone know a reasonable option to get a car wash around the city? It gets dirty and I like to clean it about once a week or more, but don't want to risk scratching the paint.

When I owned a place in the icehouse I would hand wash my car at the car wash located here. Spent many a quarters over the seven years I owned that place. ;-)

If you can find just a bit of space, all you need are 2-3 buckets and some optimum no rinse. Stuff works pretty good. Or, just use the self car wash bay. But I read somewhere they use recycled water from the car wash? No idea how accurate that is. Best of luck!

I lived in a loft downtown for 4-5 years and daily drove my M3, even every day in the winter. Only option was coin op wash and it was painless. Take buckets and fill with the minimum $2 initial spend. Quickly wash and the rinse. Pull out and dry. Never got hassled and the water at those places is always warm. Only issue I had sometimes was drying quickly enough in the sun. I sold my car with over 60k miles and it was in phenomenal conspiring.

If you want to splurge, Finish Line on Colo Blvd does a hand wash, just call ahead of time. They do a good job, too.
