The attraction is now reopened after a long period of renovation!
[Jim Murray, 03/14/2017]Closed for remodeling now (can't currently get your car ship-shape there) but looks same as always.

This one is a regular car wash, only the building looks like a paddle boat. Not much else special about this, and they do not do a great job of washing the cars in my opinion. They have a special on Wednesdays where you can get the exterior wash for four dollars.

A drive-thru car wash on US 1 in St Augustine. I'd go into more detail, but...what else is there, really?
