| - This and Cobblestone are two decent car wash places around here. Between the two, I think that Cobblestone's wash is a bit more "aggressive" and quite a bit longer. I get a bit nervous with the high pressures used at Cobblestone, though it does seem to help clean your car more thoroughly. There are a few horror stories over there that do concern me though.
The rinse step at both places is pretty similar, though I get the impression there is more water being used at Clean Freak. Neither of the places seem to do a good job of drying my car, my trunk/license plate area in particular is always soaked at the end. At Cobblestone they've got a guy that wipes off the missed spots for you which is nice, and on some days when I'm feeling generous I'll tip him. At Clean Freak I just bring my own microfiber drying cloth and take care of it in the vacuum area. I do wish they could improve the drying step at both locations, but to be fair I've never seen an automated wash do a particularly good job there.
The vacuums at Clean Freak are very well designed and offer ample power. The only feedback I have is that it would be nice if the parking were a bit more spaced out, as many times people have their doors wide open when vacuuming the inside.
The pricing and features for unlimited plans between the two is very similar as well, but in the end I choose the freaky clean unlimited plan at Clean Freak for a couple reasons:
-Detailing cloth, vacuums, and compressed air come in handy
-The quick and mild wash at Clean Freak works perfectly fine for me and I feel like my car is safe going through there
-Less crowded most of the time
-Location is a bit more convenient for me
-Somehow the employees at Clean Freak just seem happier, which is always a good sign I guess.
Just one more feedback point is that I wish the unlimited RFID sticker were more like half the size. It's honestly kinda an eyesore on my windshield.
