Services
Some car washes, including self-described "touchless" facilities, use harsh detergents or dangerous acids. In fact, the so-called touchless process can remove road grime only by using these substances in conjunction with jet blasts of high-pressure water. This process can strip away a molecular layer from paint and wheels with each wash, and even etch the surface of glass.
Through the magic of special visual effects, Kaady Car Wash's new 15-second video dramatically portrays how the addition of ceramic protection provides unprecedented resistance against UV rays, rain and penetration by airborne contaminants. At the same time, the ceramic-infused product enhances the shine and brilliance of vehicle finishes.
Windshield damage: Chips near windshield edges are harder to see, and more prone to spread as temperatures change. Repair small chips promptly, and improve your odds by keeping your distance from the vehicle ahead. Broken tire chains can damage fenders and wheel wells. Install per manufacturer instructions, drive at reduced speeds, don't drive chained-up on dry roads, and remove broken chains immediately.
Some natural and man-made damage to automotive finishes can't be corrected overnight, let alone with single - or even multiple - trips through conveyor car washes such as ours. CAUSE: Parking under trees during summertime, when sap emissions increase with rising temperatures. EFFECT: Sap and other emissions may drop as globs, or as a thin blanket over the entire vehicle, adhering and hardening on the finish.
Developed over decades of experience in the rainy Pacific Northwest, the methods used at Kaady are consistent with those prescribed in the Owner's Manuals of most leading auto manufacturers, including General Motors, Ferrari, BMW, Infiniti, Mercedes Benz, Chrysler, Ford, Porsche and others. Why do builders of the world's costliest and most popular automobiles recommend our way of washing?

Sunny day out and decided to wash my ladies car. Generally speaking, I like the self wash places.
However, I stopped and paid $15 for a car wash. Wasn't very impressed. The wheels didn't get cleaned. (No surprise).
The staff was friendly.
Once I was able to get to the vacuums, kinda felt cramped and rushed.

I just wanted to get word to the manager of the Barbur Blvd Kaady car wash that their employees do a fantastic job.
They’re always pleasant and hussle as if the business is their own. The line of cars was out to the street and the employees were literally running to make everything go smoothly. Very impressive.
(I was there 9/8/2021 at 2:45 if that of any value to you.)

The worst ever. Took my Jeep here 3 times before and manager turns me around and says I cant go through. I said Ive been here 3 times and he says I'll damage his equipment. What?!
Poor Service Poor Quality because I've been here several times already with same vehicle. Only place open this late on Sunday.
Ill never return with my Jeep or Car again. Absolutely poor service.

This is by far one of the best car washes around. The first impression was a bit shocking at first. The staff dressed in the white and black outfits with the bow ties, along with the serious manner in which they direct you into the car wash. BUT, at most cars there is usually some unkept guy, wildly waving his hands around directing you into the wash and they never seem to get you in straight. At Kaddy, the serious manner in which they direct you WORKS. Plus, the car wash cleaned our car perfectly, and the vacuums work well. Additionally, they had a help wanted sign posted and the income range

This was, without a doubt, the best car wash we've ever been to! When we pulled up and payed, the check pointed out that we had some dried bird droppings in the car. He asked me to pull to the side after the wash to inspect it, and if it was not to my satisfaction, they'd re-wash it for free.
I did pull over after the wash and found that they had made the car so clean and sparkling; leaps and bounds better that the usual place we go! While inspecting it, parked at the vacuums, I noticed something incredible... The vacuums are there to use FOR FREE!!! What?! This was such an incredible bonus! I

I'd say the professionalism of this place is top notch. The wash was good, the dry, fantastic, but the best part is the customer experience. We felt sorta special going through which is a pleasant surprise at a car wash. Friendly staff, efficient, clean. As a bonus they have FREE vacuuming. First vacuum we tried was a dud... but the second one was better than ones I've paid for. 5 stars, we will definitely return.
