More than 40 years ago, the doors to Fountain Car Wash & Lube's full-service car wash tunnel opened to reveal a slew of heavy bristle brushes. Since then, the tunnel has been refurbished with soft cloths, high-pressure water jets, mild cleaning detergents, clear-coat waxes, and touchless dryers that blow away any remaining water droplets before they attract thirsty cops. The car wash works in tandem with the detail shop, where seasoned technicians shampoo interiors and revivify paint jobs with biodegradable waxes, Rain-X, and Simoniz double-bond paint sealer. In 1995, the staff added a full-service lube shop, an authorized Valvoline Express Care outlet that features transmission flushes, tire rotations, oil changes, and complimentary checkups in between services.

Xpress Shine Car Wash’s automated tunnel is designed to re-create the gentle touch of human hands—if human hands were able to wash an entire car in three minutes. As vehicles start along the 125-foot conveyor, a biodegradable, high-lubricity foam begins to break up dirt and grime. The eco-friendly system then deploys recycled, low-pressure water and strategically placed cloth ribbons made from spa robes in place of brushing, blasting, or harsh chemicals. Optional surface protectants and a powerful air-dryer array finish the process, after which drivers can use free high-powered vacuums to get the inside as clean as the outside.

For more than 30 years, Airport Valet Parking has eased traveling stress with valet-parking services to and from Hartsfield Jackson International Airport. Valets drop off and pick up clients, spending the interim tuning up or detailing autos and filling their gas tanks before tucking them in each night inside a secure, gated lot. Additional fees apply for additional services.

Besmudged rides flock to Custom Whipz Auto Spa and its arsenal of sudsy soaps and glossy waxes. Seasoned technicians hose off auto exteriors and step inside for interior details, where they spruce up dirt-laden carpets and wipe down dust-caked dashboards. Cars wheel away with spotless rims and glinting windows after appointments ranging from 30-minute touchups to multiple hours of meticulous detailing.

High-end products from Turtle Wax, Armor All, and Rain-X splash over autos at Minit Car Wash, where a comprehensive menu of soft-brush and hand-washing treatments have kept customers coming back since 1965. All-inclusive detailing services complement a quartet of speedy exterior washes that include a tire shine and wax treatment. Available for 20% of services purchased, a wash extension will duplicate your treatment if rain, mud, or a deluge of corporate sponsors defaces the professionally cleaned car within 72 hours of your initial wash.
