Mobile Car Wash in Your Driveway

Sandhills Shine hand washes and details your car at home in Pinehurst, Southern Pines, and Aberdeen. The crew brings the water and equipment, and your paint never goes near a brush tunnel.

Tunnel Wash vs. Hand Wash

A different kind
of car wash

Searching for a car wash near you turns up drive-through tunnels. Sandhills Shine is a mobile hand wash and detail service, and the two treat your paint very differently.

Do I need to be home for the car wash? +

No. Leave the vehicle in your driveway or parking spot and the crew handles the rest. You get a text when they are on the way and another when the job is finished.

Is a hand wash better for paint than an automatic car wash? +

Yes. Tunnel washes use spinning brushes and cloth strips that carry grit from the cars ahead of you and drag it across the paint and leaves fine swirl marks. A hand wash uses clean wash media and pH-balanced products on each panel, which cleans the paint without scratching it and is safe on ceramic coatings and PPF.
