Clearwater Car Wash
I had a problem. Next to our house and our children, our cars were probably our biggest investment. Taking the best care of a car means washing it. Often. I won't wash my car at home, because I know all that soap and grime goes right down the storm sewer, into the creek, then the river, then the Sound.

I won't wash my manually any more than I'd take a shower using a sandblaster. As an engineer I solve problems for a living. When I started thinking about the car wash question, I started putting together the answers. I knew that touch-free car wash technology was out there, and I found the technology that blew my socks off.
Services
When you hand wash your car, abrasive particles are in the sponge or rag that you use. This causes small scratches in your cars finish that over time degrade your car's paint, harming its appearance. Our environmentally friendly, cleaning solutions will get your car sparkling clean. And our touchfree car wash equipment delivers the water pressure necessary to rinse away detergent film without touching its paint with a single brush or cloth pad.
Clearwater Car Wash recycles and reuses its wastewater. Many people don't realize that driveway and parking lot washing releases harsh chemicals, oil and grease into storm drains and groundwater which flow, untreated, directly into our waterways, polluting them and causing great harm to fish, wildlife and habitat.

Drying isn't the best. But everything else was good. Competitive prices. About the same as most car wash prices are currently.

Terrible job of washing vehicle. Would have been better off driving thru mud puddle. Cold day had to rewash my vehicle at home. Never go there again!

I cannot understand why this business has gotten so many bad reviews. I didn’t want to write a review until I had gone there at least three times. After having my SUV, a MB GLC300, washed there four times over the past three months I must strongly disagree with many of the negative reviews and even question the legitimacy of some of them.
Will my car come out of the touchless washing system looking like it has gone to a detailing shop? No, but I can get the road grime and dirt washed off my vehicle 10 to 20 times before I have spent as much as one trip to the detailers. And, I don’t have to

Critical: Quality
I could swear that I used to get good washes out of this automatic, brushless car wash, but this last time, after tons of water and soap and more water, my car came out looking almost as dirty as it was when it went in.

It's a typical car wash. Reasonable prices. Small parking lot can be a challenge to move around in. Had a free air hose which is handy.

$15 car wash didn't even touch the dirt in the rear windshield. Either some of their sprayers are not working or it's just a really poor set up. Terrible quality, terrible value.

UPDATE: As you can see, the dirty part of the windshield (the parts the rear wiper can't get to) didn't get touched at all. I have used other touchless car washes and not had this problem. So either Clearwater's sprayer is broken, miscalibrated, or just poorly designed. It feels like the response to this review was basically "it's not a bug, it's a feature" but I would urge

Worst car wash I’ve ever had. I opted for the $15 & highest wash and when finished I still had tons of dirt on my car and twigs still stuck in places. It barely looked like it had been cleaned, I was shocked by how little was done. The layout of the car wash itself is also a nightmare and if more than one car is waiting, you will have to wait on 99 in the turning lane. Highly encourage going anywhere else.

I was getting a car washed for someone who was having Chemotherapy at the Swedish cancer Institute. The pricier carwash options was purchased. I was so embarrassed by the outcome of the car wash, the car looked dusty and unwashed. I tried to call the carwash office and e-mailed them, just to let them know how bad the service was. No response after almost 2 weeks. So here I am, if negative stars could be given, that would be the option I would have given here on yelp. Warning: do not support a place that claims to help the earth. If you have to just go get the car rewashed again the same hour.

This was amazing. They had basically washed my car before I even went into the car wash because they were so nice and attentive! Will be back!

Why don't I read reviews first? This is a drive thru sprinkler. It doesn't even get the dust off of your car. Never coming back.

This is the first time I've ever reviewed anything on yelp, that's how incredibly disappointed I was after using this car wash. If you're looking for somewhere to essentially wet your car down and blow dry it, this is your place. If you want a clean car, I would suggest going elsewhere.

It won't get your car spotless, but it also won't scratch your paint or tear anything off your car. Always well maintained and a quick wash between those more intensive ones.

Well that's $11 I'll never get back. Paid for the mid level wash on my dirty dirty minivan. It looks worse after going through than it did at the start. Don't waste your money.
In addition, this is the most poorly set up in/out corner. If there is more than 1 car in line, you are backed up onto 99. Drive on by and don't waste your gas circling around the block.

Went in for one of their car washes. Prices were definitely higher than most but opted for it since it was touchless. It seems one out of two of their stalls was out of commission so it was a bit of a wait.

After the wash u came outside and my car still had streaks of dirt and grime. What a waste of money sigh....

I don't know what has happened to this place. Have come here before multiple times with no issues. The last few times I've had some issues with it not finishing the car all the way and has left some soap. Before it was just a few little spots, no big deal. Today though, it missed the entire driver side of my car. Tried calling the number and no answers. Ended up having to go home and complete the rinse off but by that time it had already dried. Easy enough to get off, just a hassle.

I had a free car wash coupon so I gave this place a try. Wasn't worth it at all, my car still has dust on it. The "drying" process is a joke I had to run my windshield wipers after leaving to get the water off. I think this place should have paid me to bring my car there

I will never use this car wash again. I immediately called the company after I left complaining about my windows about them not being cleaned. They explained that their chemicals don't get the windows well... Well i got home and discovered my wash was worthless. I spent my own time handwashing and buffing out the dirt that the carwash baked on. If I could give zero stars I would. The company stated "they don't have the advantage of friction from a standard car wash". Well this is the product folks. Save your money and go elsewhere. Unfortunately there is no staff on site otherwise

If you are having a nice day and looking to f it up, come here. If you're having a bad day and looking to f it up to a whole new level, come here. If you're having the worst day in your life and thought that would be end, there's always a new low.

Having an irresponsible business is a worse crime than terrorism! The difference is one a fast kill or a slow kill. But of course, there are whole bunch of dumbfucks out there would fall for this trap.

I'm not sure what all the bad reviews are about but prior to the car wash, my car was filthy and when I left the car wash, it was sparkly clean!!!

My husband has been working on home re-model projects in the garage and needless to say, got my car covered in dust. Also, he had been working on smoothing our bedroom walls. Unfortunately, the utility sink in the garage is right next to my car and he got white splatters all over my car. Besides that, my daughter left sticky finger prints on the exterior of the passenger side and it looks like someone spilled soda on the drivers side of my door

Okay, I'm sure the business owner have seen some of these reviews if not, all. But honestly, let's see to it that you, our friend, make car washing great again!?! $9 bucks for a basic wash but only 1/3 side being washed is obviously not an even number. Let's wash around the perimeter of the cars shall we?
I paid for my car wash this time which means, I gave you another shot. This is why America is great, everybody gets a second chance! On a good note, I agree with the location. Fancy...
The other car wash place? $20 a month more or less, unlimited! Did I say unlimited? BUT

$15 does a very nice job of washing, waxing and sealing my car. Being as this is a no-touch car wash, it does not get all the dirt if it is deep. This car wash is ideal for new cars, whose clearcoat can easily be scratched by brush car washes, or worse, leave swirl marks and ruin the paint. Clearwater doesn't do that at all.

Instead of driving your car through the car wash, you drive to the middle of the bay, stop and park (with the engine running), and then the robotic arms and sprayers do the rest. It's really cool how it works. They have to be very careful about the so-called "
