Best Car Wash

Hey All - hoping you can help a noob to west LA out, looking for a good car wash, or drive thru car wash (drive into bay auto wash / no railing).

if hand car wash, preferably one that knows how to clean rims thoroughly.

Theres a "Green" car wash in the parking lot of whole food in playa vista. Its looks expensive and Im usually hesitant with water free car washes especially with a black car. Other than that theres another hand car wash up by LAX in that parking lot with Petco and I think its an alberstons on sepulveda, they do a decent job.

Find a good mobile Detailer that'll come to you. Please stay away from tunnel washes and production car wash places. Just asking for swirls.

For those of you that use mobile washers, do you tip and if so what is an adequate amount on a $30-$40 wash?

I don't because I use them as often as I can but recently they been hard to find so it's kinda annoying me tbh.

Aside from the fact he also should remember how much to charge me so sometimes he just upcharges me still which also irritates me but I don't' really bring it up.

I use Victor's YMB_F80 iDL as well but having to drive back home gets my car dirty and that is annoying :P
