    Are there any self service car wash (coin operated) open to the public on Oahu, name and location? I ask because my living situation I will not have the access of washing my personal car, especially after some Keana point and other off roading conditions the truck will be a mess.

    I could not find any self service car washes but I found that the commercial wash and detail for reasonable price... $20ish for wash and "wax". Mckinley has some great reviews for their services as well as few others.
    Ill be missing my driveway, power washer, foam cannon and more once I get to the island for sure.

    thanks

    Do you know if that is military use only, or open to public?

    thanks

    believe that one is for military, and they usually don't like muddy cars

    I have family and friends in the military, nothing against them at all... I don't quite understand why Hawaii gives those who serve so much more privilege over locals..., come on "all lives matters"

    I edited my original post luka, I understand the place is run by NEX I work not to far from that place. Im trying to say its a car wash just open it to the public willing to pay to properly use it... with some sarcasm

    thanks for the reply

    Unlike the mainland, we don't have many self-serve car washing centers. There are so many different reasons why, but real estate/commercial lease prices and the cost of running a business like this would make it pretty unprofitable for any business operator.
