What happened to self serve car washes?! Orlando

[deicustoms1]

I've been in Orlando for 6 months now and I do not recall seeing any self serve bay car washes. Lately I've been driving places I don't normally go to find one, and just can't locate one.

It's pretty hard to search online for one too since I only know the names of previous car washes and those were locally owned ones 1 or 2 location businesses.

Does anybody know where one is, prefferably a good one in sw orange.

If I recall correctly you are south of downtown aren't you? If so I don't know of any but will ask some friends that live down that way. I only know of two in town and they are north of downtown, both on 434.

[deicustoms1]

Yeah, I'm south of downtown. I've been asking friends and they couldn't think of any either. They all use the auto car wash that I used to be able to use. Thanks for checking

I will let you know what I find out. I know there are a couple of full service ones up in Lake Mary that will do a H2 some some down your wait might do the H3.

I was down there w/ my old car..(was pretty protective of it, always took it to self wash in tallahassee)..and I went to some place like scrubbles or bubbles or something...it was actually pretty good - guys took extra time w/ my car -- pretty cheap too). Somewhere NW of downtown I think...

Was it a Shiners? There are several of them around and they have done a great job on my past vehicles.

I know for sure that there is on in Winter Park, on 17/92 just north of Lee Road. It is a coin (pressure washer) car wash. There are a couple more around town, but I just don't remember where the other ones are at. At least you can go there and spray off all the large mud/dirt then take it home or go somewhere for a good wash.

Forgot about that one.

Back when I was in high school we were stripping the paint off a car with airplane stripper (Nasty Sh!t). Well, we cover the car in it and then drop to a do it yourself car wash and wash all the paint right off. Saved a lot of time http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Now, wouldn't have done that if the water was not processed and cleaned right there.

Hmm...that's pretty far away too. I've seen a couple full service car washes, but I don't goto those. I'm too protective of my cars. :P

Do you remember the name of the pressure wash place north of lee rd? Maybe it's a local franchise type thing and I could search for it.

Thanks everyone.

Sorry, no, been close to 2 years since I drove by it. My GF works near there, I will see if she can find out for you.

Finally found one! It's down in kissimmee.

[HummerNewbie]

Damn, all the way down in Kissimmee. You could probably get to one of the ones up here on 434 quicker. At least you found one though. I took my old SUV to the new one on 434 this past weekend and it was pretty good.

[deicustoms1]

It's only about 8 miles away actually.

[HummerNewbie]

Really? Guess I thought that Kissimmee started a little further down the road than it does.
