The only places that I saw that I'd even consider taking my car when I was there was the car wash and detail place down Business 190. You know where the bikinis are on display as you drive by. And then the other place is on the way to Harker Heights on the left side on Central Texas Expressway. It seems to always have some nice business going on.

I am looking for a detail only place, most here are car wash/ detail knock off. These !diots dont know what there doing. They use cheap **** from Autozone and call it a detail job. I am looking at a place that can do this, just look at the amazing job. NO WAX WAS USED!

My reaction was my favorite saying "oh my lanta". That is a good detail job using no wax at all, I think i am going to end up doing it myself again this weekend. The weather will be sh!tty so it will give me something to do. Here is a place that I hear is good but very expensive.

I wouldn't. Mine is a dd, driven through the scenic route everyday. Got my car nice and shiny and pretty, and within a few days it was all grimey again. I hate how easily cars get dirty, yellow especially. Though it did look nice for a few hours..

They invited me to come to an event in dfw they are sponsoring during the day, drag races and drifting and then roll back with them all to the shop to do my car after the event. anyone interested in rolling up there with me saturday morning??
