Good to know

How much does a hand car wash cost on average?

A basic exterior-only hand wash for a standard sedan costs between $25 and $40, while larger SUVs and trucks range from $35 to $60. Full-service hand packages that include interior vacuuming, dashboard wiping, and glass cleaning range from $50 to $110.

How long does a typical hand car wash take?

An exterior hand wash typically takes 20 to 30 minutes of labor time per vehicle. Full interior and exterior hand cleaning packages generally require 45 to 75 minutes, depending on the staffing level and the vehicle's initial condition.

Why choose a hand car wash over an automated machine wash?

Hand washing allows attendants to target stubborn road tar, bugs, and brake dust that automated jets frequently miss. Manual cleaning with clean microfiber tools also protects delicate paint finishes, custom wraps, and ceramic coatings from abrasive friction.
