H2O Car Wash and Detail's staff keeps cars in showroom condition with an emphasis on attentiveness and high-quality products. Meticulous hand washes are the team members' hallmark, and they perform each scrub down with soft, wool mitts instead of relying on machines or enormous carnival dunk tanks. To keep every vehicle looking its best, washes incorporate 100% carnauba wax to baby paint jobs and Lexol conditioners to gently maintain inside upholstery. The technicians rid interior and exterior dirt with a suite of washing and detailing services that leaves finishes glowing and interior fabrics looking freshly laundered. While the team does its work, motorists stay entertained in a lounge furnished with free WiFi and cable TV, and a kids' play area complete with video games works even better than hiring the GPS navigator to babysit.

Detailing packages assemble extra touches that subject disheveled cars to white-glove once-overs including trunk cleanings and carpet steam cleanings.

The Texas Detail team shares anecdotes collected over 40 years of shared experience as they ramble through town, polishing autos at homes and offices with hand-washing and detail services. After arriving at their destination, they lather exteriors and apply wax to protect paint jobs and turn cars into statues of themselves. They also purge interiors by pre-treating stains, vacuuming carpets, and coating sun-kissed regions with UV protectant.

At The Arbor Car Wash, skilled detailing crews and lube technicians meet drivers’ every vehicular need and state inspections, from basic washes to detailing to oil changes.

Throughout each wash or service job, customers can retreat inside for a handful of popcorn or slink into a comfy chair to whittle a new steering wheel. The Arbor Car Wash also looks out for its community, donating time and money to a list of organizations that includes the American Cancer Society, the Austin Children’s Center, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
