The automotive aestheticians at TintWorld beautify rides with a variety of detailing, window-film, and modification services. Window-tint treatments offer privacy and sun protection, and are available in custom designs such as flames and skulls. Installation services include electronics, alarms, audio and video systems, and spring-loaded ejector seats. The outlet also supplies do-it-yourself detailers with car-care and performance products.

A 125-foot automatic wash tunnel is the bread and butter at each of Motor City Car Wash’s three locations. The system, which uses light-touch soft cloths and 60% recycled and filtered water, effectively cleans cars from roof to underbelly without damaging the paint. Drivers can choose one of four car-wash packages, such as the Basic—a wash, power dry, and hand finish—or the Works, complete with an exterior dressing and a Rain-X windshield treatment. After rolling through the tunnel, cars can pull up to a uniformed technician to be lavished with praise for their new and shiny look, or to be detailed with Meguiar's products. Motor City backs all of its services with a 48-hour re-wash policy.

Seven days a week, the trained technicians at Ultimate Car Wash & Detail Center usher dirty automobiles through a drive-through wash before manually vacuuming and wiping down their interiors. In addition to these general cleaning treatments, they perform detailing services such as headlight restoration and flux-capacitor calibration.

Though they acknowledge that other automatic options may be quicker, the friendly staff at Inside-n-Out Handwash takes pride in the attentiveness with which they service each customer’s car. Their hands-on approach allows them to tailor their services to each car’s most sullied spots as they manually scrub, dry, vacuum, and wax headlights’ eyebrows. Inside-n-Out stocks only gentle cleaning products that augment an already environmentally friendly process, as it uses less water than at-home car washing. As an added service to the community, Inside-n-Out facilitates fundraising events with no upfront costs to the participating organization.

While the techs at Coast Carwash are experts at washing dirty autos, their expertise doesn't end there. They've got everything they need to make sure grungy cars leave looking as good as the day they drove off the dealership lot. Waxes by Meguiar's and Nanoskin help seal in the car's restored shine and repel incoming filth, while Meguiar's leather treatments keep seats and other interior surfaces soft, supple, and crack-free. While they're inside, techs can also freshen the upholstery and carpets, shine all gauges, switches, buttons, and vents, and remove any foul odors left behind by forgotten take-out containers or hitchhiking trout salesmen. Tears in upholstery or isolated scratches on the car's finish are swiftly brought to rights, and the crew can also handle full headlight restorations or repair cracked windshields to ensure each auto drives away safely.

Mr. Clean Car Wash's mud-loathing machines and talented technicians work together to restore allure to road-weary wagons. Wash tunnels delicately swallow vehicles during the Gold package, massaging away exterior grime with soft cloths and tickling underbodies with a rust inhibitor. An application of tire shine and triple-shine polish works to imbue autos with the regal glow of Louis XIV's nightlight. Along with a spot-free rinse and blow-dry, the wash lathers steely steeds with Mr. Clean Surface Protectant and Wheel Guard to defend newly primped exteriors from the bad-boy appeal of dirt. Fast and effective, the gentle machine finishes cleanly deeds in about eight minutes. Mr. Clean's technicians constantly strive to protect natural resources by recycling and filtering water as much as possible, protecting the livelihoods of whales and whale-to-English translators.
