Enjoy, sip, and shop while we clean your car! Our curated Gleam Shop is sourced almost entirely from local Denver small businesses, and we're always working to add new vendors to our list. Social Distancing: We ask that only 10 people enter the shop at a time and that you wear a mask at all times when in the shop.
Denver's greenest car wash. We reclaim 90% of our water, use energy-efficient equipment, and use solar panels for heating and power. We use less than 15 gallons of fresh water per car wash. Compare this to an average of 80-140 gallons of drinkable water per wash when you wash your car at home. An average hose with typical water pressure of 40 pounds per square inch spews about 11 gallons of water per minute.
Gleam donates to local Denver organizations with every purchase of a Total car wash or Interior Total car wash service. We offer local schools and nonprofits the opportunity to host Saturday fundraisers to raise money for your cause. Your supporters can wash their cars at Gleam and 10% of wash sale proceeds from that day are yours to keep.

So rude from the start. Write an honest review and they take back an offer to refund you. Save your money, don’t let people talk down to you try a different car wash
These are their responses..
We did not receive any email from you other than these two and we always answer the phone, so it’s unlikely you called and you definitely didn’t email prior to yesterday.

Gleam is amazing! It was really easy to book an appointment online. My car looked beautiful when it was finished. They paid great attention to detail. While they were working hard on my car, I was able to wait in their comfortable waiting room. I will definitely be back.

Fantastic service! I dropped my car off, did a quick walk through, and was on my way. They finished two hours earlier than planned, which was impressive considering the quality of the detailing. My car smells, looks, feels amazing! Not a detail was missed. Very fairly priced for the quality and reset! I will definitely be back.

I’ve been going to Gleam since they opened, and they provide great, friendly service every time. They also have a comfortable, clean waiting room with tea, coffee & snacks. Most recently, they have gone above and beyond in cleaning our truck camper exterior - and it was not an easy job to get all those bug guts off! I’d highly recommend for any car cleaning services

My car was looking pretty rough, the paint was dull and the inside was pretty dirty. I'm really busy and the last thing on my list is keeping my car up. I cannot get over how amazing my car looked when I picked it up. I felt like I had stolen a brand new car, it was so clean. This was the first time I had a car detailed and I swear it is life changing. Totally worth it! Thank you!!

Pretty disappointed. Paid $38 and left tons of pet hair and clumps of dirt in the backseat. They told me pet hair isn’t covered, but the front had been vacuumed well. They just didn’t care to reach into the backseat. This would be fine for $20, but for $40 I expect more attention to detail.
Even after they argued and finally took it back in, they left a layer of dirt film in the backseats. All it would take is a quick wipe down with a damp towel. Absolutely not worth this price point :-/

I absolutely love this place. It's a great combination of automatization for the outside of your car, and human for the inside. I have people in my family with down syndrome, and I absolutely love that they also employ people with dishabilities. When I asked if this was the case tla lady in the front desk didnrefer to "them" as a whole, but begun to recall each of them by name, which told me that they are not just workers, but people well integrated into their workspace with bonds of affection.
On top of that they recycle their water, so I feel better about going here. And they have all kinds

I have had an interior/exterior membership here for 4 months. During that time I have gone through the car was, usually with interior cleaning, about every week on average.
There has been a sticky spot in the center of my car near the gear shifter (picture added). Every time I went through to get my car washed, I noticed it was never gone, so I left it this entire time to see how long it would take to get removed. I would expect that after nearly having a membership for a full 4 months and going through the interior cleaning at least 20 times, that spot would be gone, but it hasn't. This week
