So I just moved from a smaller community with a house, driveway, hose and all the good stuff and room you need to wash/wax your car.

Now I live in a little apartment with street parking....
How do you guys go about washing your cars if you are in a similar situation? just take over a car wash bay for a day, or make some friends with a driveway?

 

I would use the wash where you pay with quarters & bring all my car wash stuff with me

 

I have the same situation. Where I live there are no "do-it-yourself w/quarters" car washes around, so I look for hand car washes, where they wash your car without brushes or machines. Not as good as washing it yourself, but the next best thing. Figure I can remove the inevitable swirl marks when the car gets detailed.

I have friends in the 'burbs about an hour out of town. They let me use their driveway whenever I visit. Good excuse for a fun drive – plus they feed me.

 

^^^^ same here I use my friends driveway aswell if I can't then I go to the hand wash place they do a decent job!! And there are alot of em around NY!!
LET GO METS sorry couldn't help it

 

ONR
(optimum no rinse)
and two buckets

yes, it really works.. but no, it isn't as good as a normal wash.

 

I have a buddy from my VW past that does and awesome wax/wash for $35. In between wax jobs I use the DIY/quarter gig.
