Strictly By Hand Car Wash, Chicago

The technicians at Strictly By Hand Car Wash and Detailing pamper their clients' cars as if they are brand-new babies. All detail services begin with their most luxe wash, which is done by hand from start to finish. Detail sessions can include polishing and wax on the exterior, and shampoo and conditioning on the interior. Three wash lanes and four detail bays keep waiting to a minimum. Meanwhile, customers sit out the treatments in a comfortable lounge stocked with snacks and drinks. There, they keep an eye on their rides through windows that look directly into the wash area, and they can pick up brand new floor mats or air fresheners to reward their cars for taking a bath without throwing a tantrum.
