How every wash goes here
Most washes are a machine and a blower. This corner has had a crew at both ends of the tunnel for 38 years, and that is the thing 512 Google reviews keep mentioning.
Pre-scrub by hand
A crew member works the bugs, the road film, and the wheels before the car enters the tunnel. Most washes skip this step entirely.
Soft-cloth tunnel
Cloth, not hard brushes, so clear coat stays clear.
Hand dry at the exit
Towels at the end, not just a blower. Mirrors, door jambs, and the drip lines get wiped.
A biscuit for the dog
Bring the dog. The crew keeps treats at the window.

The self-serve sideSwipe
Open when nothing else is
Before the shift, after the coast, the night the dog found the beach. The self-serve bays at 1441 Broadway run 24 hours with vacuums right next to the stalls.
Self-serve baysBefore and after
A summer of bugs off 101, pre-scrubbed by hand and run through the tunnel. No retouching, just the crew.

North Coast car care
It is never one big mess here. It is a slow film of salt, sap, and road grit that dulls the paint if nobody deals with it. Here is the calendar.
November to March
Rain, road film, and salt fog
Storms lift oil and grit off Broadway and 101 and paint it up the doors. Fog off the bay leaves salt on anything parked outside.
What to do: Exterior wash every week or two, and let the wand or the tunnel hit the underside.
April and May
Pollen and sap
Alder and pine pollen turns a dark car yellow overnight. Sap from redwoods and pines bakes on if it sits through a sunny week.
What to do: Wash it off before it bakes. A hand pre-scrub gets sap a touchless wash leaves behind.
June to September
Dust, bugs, and beach sand
Gravel-road dust inland, bugs off 101 and 299, and sand from every beach between Centerville and Trinidad in the carpet.
What to do: This is Quick Clean Out season. The sand is in the seat tracks, not just the mats.
October
Needles and the first rains
Redwood needles pack into cowls and door jambs, and the first rain of the year floats a summer of oil off the road.
What to do: Clear the needles before the rain turns them to paste. Then wash after the first storm.
