Nominated by Long Island Press as one of the best local car washes of 2011, Cottage Car Wash grooms vehicles with extensive wash and indoor detail packages. During the 15-minute deluxe car wash, an exterior bath precedes a flurry of dirt-defying treatments including hot sealer wax, Black Magic tire shine, an undercarriage wash, Velocity clear-coat protectant, and Rain-X protectant. Technicians will also vacuum the interior and shampoo the front two floor mats. The complete detail package commences indoors with an exterior wash bolstered by a paint-pampering Clay Magic treatment. After applying compound and polish to awaken the paint from weather-beaten sleep, technicians slather on protective Carnauba paste wax fortified with Teflon, smear on a layer of hand glaze, and detail the rims to keep the wheels spinning shinily. On the inside, staffers steam clean carpets and upholstery, detail the dash and console, and treat the leather before sending the car off as clean and polished as an egomaniac’s trophy case.

Cottage Car Wash’s relaxing waiting room offers a TV for customers to enjoy while they listen to their cars singing in the shower or, for an extra fee, they can take a quick ride on the shop’s massage chair.

Though Cottage Car Wash sometimes offers discounts online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
