Suggestions for car wash/detailing in Chicago

M40i21 · 09-15-2021, 03:43 PM

Does anyone have a place they recommend in Chicago for routine car washes as well as detailing? I like to get my car washed about every two weeks and even though I’ve been going to hand car washes the paint is starting to show some swirl marks (2021 carbon black metallic).

I’d like to have those buffed out and then a standard detailing. Anything in the city is preferable. Thanks in advance.

There used to be a place on The NW corner of Washington and Peoria in the West Loop that was excellent. No idea if it's still there though.

Have you tried Simon's Shine Shop off Elston Ave - used to there.
