Our Wash

If you are not satisfied with your wash, we will be happy to rewash your vehicle free of charge. Please ask to speak to the manager on duty.

Yes. Our equipment is gentle enough for soft-top convertibles in good condition. We also turn off the high-pressure sprayers to avoid any possibility of damage to the soft-top.

Through innovative technology, our point of sales system communicates with our tunnel controller as to what car is getting what wash. Also, through CarPics® technology, our team can see each car’s wash in real-time. We utilize RFID, and Loop system to identify and verify each vehicle.

No, Drive & Shine Car Wash uses Neoglide Foam Wraps. They are extremely gentle to today's soft clearcoat cars, resists grit, non-scratching. Neoglide is a soft but durable foam sponge material that has been proven through the years to be very durable but gentle to your car. Other materials have been known to leave your car dull and hazy looking, while Neoglide polishes your car to a gleaming shine.

The technology we use allows us to give you the same quality of car wash, regardless of how busy we are.

Compared to the average amount of fresh water a person might use when washing his or her vehicle in the driveway with a hose, we only use about 1/7 of that amount of water (150 gallons in the driveway vs 20 gallons at Drive & Shine). Also, Drive & Shine Car Wash locations have varying levels of water reclamation systems which allow us to filter, clean and re-use some of the water used in our wash process. Used water runs directly to a unique collection system that filters the water and removes harmful sediments and oil before it reaches local sewers. Providing a clean, dry, and shiny car for all our customers while also trying to do our part to conserve natural resources such as water is extremely important to us.
