Hand Wash, Touchless, or Self Service? What Auto Paradise Actually Offers
Updated: Sep 25
People search for very specific kinds of car wash: self service, touchless, hand wash, full service. They are not interchangeable, and picking the wrong one wastes a trip. Here is exactly which of them Auto Paradise offers at our Kissimmee and Orlando, FL locations, and which we do not, so you know before you drive over.
What we offer, at a glance
Type of wash | Do we offer it? | Details |
|---|---|---|
Hand wash | Yes | Premium Hand Wash, $50. Car foam bath, tires rinsed and glossed, premium spray wax, Express Interior included. |
Full service | Yes | Any wash tier plus Express Interior, from $15. Interior vacuumed, windows and dash cleaned, door jams wiped. |
Express / automatic | Yes | Four drive-through tiers from $10 to $25, no appointment needed. |
Free self-serve vacuums | Yes | High-powered vacuums, free with every wash, you use them yourself. |
Self service wash bays | No | We do not have coin-operated self service wash bays. Our washes are done for you. |
Touchless | No | We use a soft cloth wash, which does contact the vehicle. |
Yes, we do hand car washes
This is the one people most often do not realise we offer. The Premium Hand Wash is $50 and is genuine hand work, not a machine cycle:
Car foam bath, washed by hand
Tires rinsed and glossed
Premium spray wax
Express Interior included: interior vacuumed, windows and dash cleaned, door jams wiped
Optional upgrade from spray wax to hi gloss wax for $15
If you have been searching for a hand car wash near you in Kissimmee or Orlando, that is the one to book.
Why we are not touchless, and why that is fine
A touchless wash uses only high-pressure water and chemicals, nothing physically contacts the paint. We use a soft cloth wash instead, which does make contact. Modern soft cloth material is gentle on clear coat and removes road film, bug residue and brake dust that touchless chemistry often leaves behind, particularly in Florida after love bug season. If you specifically require a no-contact wash, we are not the right fit and we would rather tell you now.
We are not a self service car wash
There are no coin-operated bays here where you wash the car yourself. Every wash is done for you, starting at $10. What we do have free of charge is the vacuum side: high-powered self-serve vacuums included with every wash, at both locations, which is what most people actually want when they search for self service.
So which should you pick?
