Why drivers choose Cool Wave.
Fast, in and out.
Express tunnel gets you washed in under 3 minutes. Self-serve bays open 24/7 for when you want to take your time.
Built for Hampton Roads.
Salt air, pollen, beach sand, bug season. We know what this climate does to your vehicle. Every wash is tuned for it.
Safe for your vehicle.
Our Express Tunnel uses soft-touch tech safe for ceramic coatings and new finishes. Touch Free bays use zero contact at all.
Made for Hampton Roads drivers.
Pollen coats your clear coat in spring. Salt air eats paint near the oceanfront. Beach sand finds its way into every crevice after summer weekends. Bug season turns the front end of every Hampton Roads car into a battle zone.
We built Cool Wave for the way people actually drive here. Fast washes when you're on your way home from the beach. Unlimited plans for commuters who hit the 64 every morning. Touch-free bays for that new vehicle you're trying to keep perfect.
