Default Recommend me a hand carwash/detailer

Looking for a by hand car wash place, in either north tampa or near downtown st pete (work out there). I can't seem to find a place that doesn't use machines. I usually do it myself but every now and then I run out of time. Thanks for your help

I would give Presidential Detailing a try. He seems to have lots of happy customers.

yeah he's a little too expensive. I'm looking in the 20-30 dollar range for a hand wash, vacuum and wash windows. Last I checked he wanted at least double that

Billy does the best detailing work, bar none. You get what you pay for.

I would put his details up against any in Tampa Bay...

this is my daily driver, not a show car. Sorry not paying 50 bucks to get my car washed, vac'd, and wipe down the windows. I dont know if you noticed this but it kinda rains here every day, the extra attention that he puts forth would be a waste

Obviously if he wanted to do it himself, this thread wouldn't exist.
