Chicago Car Wash Recommendations

[slmlc02]

Anyone in Chicago or north burbs have a recommendation for a good car wash location? Somewhere they hand wash and use the two bucket method.

Appreciate any recommendations.

Interested in good detailers as well.

Check out chicagoautopros.com. I've had paint protection done there and would highly recommend them.

These guys are the best in town in my opinion.

Best Chicago Hand Car Wash & Detailing | Lincoln Park | Bucktown | Lakeview | Greektown | Simon's Shine Shop

I'd like to find a good hand wash place in the northern suburbs as well!

Previously, I like the River West Hand Wash in downtown Chicago (near Grand and Milwaukee). If I don't find a good one in the suburbs, I'll probably bring my S to River West.

Talked with Tesla Highland Park and they recommended the two below, both near them.

-Splash in Northbrook
-Norm's Hand Wash in Wilmette

Interesting...I talked to them about a week or 2 ago about car wash recommendations, and they said they have no particular recommendations.

Took my car into Chicago Auto Pros (Glenview) for a wash today. Nice guys and good work. $40 for exterior and interior hand wash. Will go back. Worked with Greg to schedule an appointment and talked a lot about future detailing options, Opti-Coat, etc. Nice guy, and not pushy at all.

Give them a shot.

$40 for exterior and interior hand wash.

$40 seems a bit steep for inside and out wash.

 

[slmlc02]

Didn't say it was a value at $40. Was $25 for exterior and $15 for interior. Was comparable to several places I looked up, though.

$40 for hand wash isn't horrible. I have paid $39 for machine wash with vacuum and spray on wax before...

Took my MS to Norm's Hand Car Wash in Wilmette today (saw another MS there). They did a pretty good job. Would likely go back.

I've been to both Chicago Auto Pros for Optincoat and film application and I go to Norms for regular wash. They are both very good!

Norms closed finally about 2 years ago. Any other recommendations? I tried the trio bp but cancelled because it was hard to find the right spot. Maybe everclean. Or I stopped by waterway and he said we have hundreds of Tesla's each month and no issues. Or there is splish splash prospect heights il which is touchless.

I have a subscription at Delta Sonic and feel it's been a good value because I can get there when it's not crowded so I wash often. On a nice weekend day, though, forget it.

Consistently good washes but I never wait for drying so I can't comment on that aspect.
