You can go to PitLane in Richmond, I think they charge like $20-$30 for simple hand wash.

Many of us here just DIY.

yea, this is my first car, sorry maybe my question was not clear enough, i was looking for a store for recommendation rather than DIY.

i have been using shell touchless before, since i need interior server as well, i dont know which one to go for.

one of the store in richmond quoted me for $85 plus tax for interior, $20 extra exterior too.

seems too expensive for me.

that was what i thought.  but after talking to the car dealer and the body shop owner, i changed my mind.  they both indicated the touchless is different from the pressure wash machine at home.  it is much gentle.  the touchless couldn't even remove the oily dirt at my bumper, so i believe the touchless is not as strong as what we thought.

Unless you want to damage your clearcoat, I would against touchless.

is this your 1st car?  use some better quality mitten and car shampoo,  first step is to use the water hose to wash off the dirt and mud, so u would have a lesser chance to scratch the paint, then wash your car carefully, then rinse and use some whole cotton towel to dry it.  for those hard to get rid of dirt, u need to buy some special cleaner from canadian tire.  For interior, sometimes i use the swiffer on the dashboard, and i bought a small shop vaccum (not the handheld one, they are not powerful enough) to vaccum the interior.  But i would recommend u do a search in youtube, there should be some video to show you how to do it.  i think paying $20 for someone to wash it is a waste of money, if u are fast and experienced, u should be able to finish it in less than 30mins.
