So... first i would just like to say I have never let someone else wash my car..... until now.
I was on my way to an event on Friday night and was wearing a suit... my car was filthy but did not wanna stop at a wand wash and do it myself (as I usually do) because i was wearing a suit.
So i stopped by this place in aveneda mall i had heard of ... thought i would give them a try. Its completely hand washed and dried including in the door jams.
They have all sorts of packages including interior and exterior cleaning... waxing... polish.. all that stuff.
Well I was in a rush obviously so i just got the exterior wash.
First off I had no idea it would be 18 FRICKIN DOLLARS
So they took my car and i went into the building to pay and stuff. The inside was very nice.... surprisingly nice actually. The lady at the till was nice and they had free internet and everything... which is what i did while i was waiting for my car to go through.
I watched them do my car and noticed when it came out of the wash there was marks on my windows.... at the time i just thought it was fog... cold outside... hot inside... fogging.
I got back in my car and noticed a ton of mud on my driver side window (inside). Then i looked around... there was mud everywhere!!!! On all 4 windows... on the door panels... on the a-pillars. I was quite pissed.
So i went back right away and showed them the mud... to which they replied "well you got only an exterior wash..."
to which i said "YA... i understand that... but when i brought my car here I sure as hell didnt have mud all through my interior!!"
the guy replied with "Well I guess when he was wiping down the door jams there was mud on his hands"
I thought... wow... so a guy is cleaning my car with mud on his hands??? awesome!!!!
The guy took a multi purpose spray of some sort and cleaned the dash, windows, and door panels.... still doing a terrible job. I am going to clean the rest off tomorrow some time.
SO ... I was quite pissed off about the whole thing... the exterior had water sports all over it... the interior had mud all throughout it.... it was just terrible... AND IT WAS 18 DOLLARS!
NEVER GO TO CLEARWASH IN AVENEDA!!!! NEVER!!!
I worked at a honda dealer for a long time and my worst job cleaning a car would have been equal to these guys' best effort I think.
If your car needs a good cleaning... please bring it to me. haha. I will do it for cheaper than them and a WAYYYY beter job.
So.... I have learned to continue cleaning my own car.
SHORT VERSION: Took car to Clearwash... job sucked. Water spots all over and mud from guys dirty hands all throughout the interior. Plus it was 18 frickin dollars. Rip off and terrible job. DONT GO!
