Being from Michigan, I wasn't aware of the "hand car wash" luxury that appears to be so abundant here in the valley. "Los" as my friends and I have named it, does a great job and for a measly $10 it's a pretty smokin' deal. They start with a vacuum onto the wash and then final touches with a hand dry and a full interior clean! Of course you can get fancy with some wax, or take it down a notch with a $6 exterior express!
Warning: They lost a star b/c they can take a while to finish your ride. I usually come prepared with a latte and a New Times, or their on site Phx Downtown (better than the newtimes)...
As long as you have up to 45 minutes to spare, it's well worth rolling out on McDowell with shiny wheels..! You'll be ready to take on anything..
