Hydro the hippo
Chief Shine Officer
Meet Hydro.

Hippos spend their whole lives in the water. So naturally, he runs the car wash.

Hydro doesn't do "good enough." He does showroom-shine, turn-your-head, is-that-thing-brand-new clean — and he expects his crew to do the same. Family owned, locally run, and a little obsessed with the details.

The stuff nobody else gives you free.

Most washes spit you out the other end. Hydro hands you everything to finish the job — included with every single wash.

Powerful Vacuums

Crevice tools built to reach the dirt, crumbs and debris in every corner of your ride.

Mat Stations

The fan favorite. Oversized sinks, air dryers, and a machine that runs mats clean.

Air Tools

Pressurized air to dry the body and blast out the dash and vents.

Cleaners + Freshener

Glass cleaner, all-purpose spray, and a free air freshener at every bay.

Tire Shine Touch-Up

Apply it yourself and get the tires sparkling exactly how you like them.

Unlimited Towels

Fresh micro-fiber towels at every station. Use what you need, return them, repeat.

Armor for your paint.

Multi-layer coatings applied right in the tunnel — they repel water, mud and road grime and keep your finish looking factory-fresh.

4layers

Graphene Armor

The newest layering protection — 4 layers that shrug off water, mud, dust and debris.
3layers

An advanced sealant that bonds to your paint, applied in 3 layers for a lasting shine.

Hands down the nicest car wash I've ever visited. The service is top-notch and they go above and beyond to make sure you leave with a sparkling clean car.

I LOVE this place! Staff is so personable and literally went out of their way to make sure I had the best experience. Switched my membership instantly.

A step above the rest. My car looks better than any other wash around. Sprays, rags, vacuums, carpet machines — deserves more than 5 stars.

Michael Finney
★★★★★

The most comprehensive automated wash. Even the soap smells good, the towels are clean, the vacuums work, and there's a space for carpets. Incredible.
