I just moved out of the city last October. Have been to most of the hand car washes
and have had good & bad luck. The one on Divis & Oak is OK.

The one on Van Ness & Mission chiped my MINI's door pretty bad. Did not
actually see them do it but I know it was not there before the wash. The one
on S.Van Ness & 16th broke my BMW's shift knob!

My favorite wash technique is to go to the "quarter" car wash on Bayshore near
the 101 on ramp and wash the car by hand. Bring your own bucket, soap etc.
and use the power wash to rinse. It's OK to do this as long as no one is waiting
behind you.
