About Cactus Car Wash

In 1996, the first Cactus Car Wash was built with a simple goal: provide an outstanding car wash experience. At Cactus Car Wash, the customer is relaxed in a comfortable lounge while the high-tech tunnel and trained staff cleaned cars quickly and thoroughly. Wax and detailing services satisfied the most ardent car-lovers. Before long, Cactus Car Wash became the most popular car wash in Charleston, SC.Cactus Car Wash expanded into the heart of Atlanta in 1998. Once again, Cactus set new standards in customer care, quality, and service. Once again, customers loved Cactus, and the new facility became one of the busiest washes in the southeastern United States.  Cactus Car Wash has seven successful locations in Ft. Lauderdale, Atlanta and Charleston. Cactus Car Wash operates on a "flex-serve" model, offering customers traditional full-service car washing, exterior-only express car washing, and a variety of special detailing and restoration options.
