Fellow f80/f82'ers

Having a tough time finding a place that does a good hand wash. Everywhere I've checked wants to charge for a "mini detail" $125 and up

Any recommendations?

The one on leesburg pike and gallows does hand wash and vacuum from $24-30. I go to them all the time. Quality is ok. I don't think I plan on taking the f80 there...atleast until the novelty wears off.

I only trust my detailer and me for a hand wash. How can I be sure he uses 2 bucket method? Fresh wash mitt and microfiber, which has never touched wheels?

I guess I am anal about setup and prep to not cause swirls and such.

I stick with the automated rail-less touchless washes in cold weather or when I am lazy. I usually hit with quick detail spray and my super absorbent waffle drying towel. 15mins tops.

Yah... problem is I can't find any place nearby me that offers the automated rail-less touchless washes near me. Most places atm are closed due to the freezing weather.

Capital Shine has two locations, one in Arlington and one in Bethesda. I get hand washes done there for $20 but only includes wash, no wax. I'm extremely happy with the outcome each time, only downside is they can take their time to do the wash. Usually there for an hour or so.
