Good luck, I don't think anything like that exists (not for under $25). A good detailer will charge $100 just to wash it properly.

Pretty much. I had a hard time paying $12 and tip just to get a half ass job. Not to mention the possibility of damaging your wheels on the rail when being pulled through the washer.

if you are worried about your rims being damaged through the rails, just have them hand wash it outside of the machine... costs more but, its safer.. especially if you have a lowered car

The 2 places that I used to go don't even offer this service. That is when I stopped going. After lowering my last car..they said that it won't fit on the ramp and said they couldn't wash it. Since then, I've been doing it on my own. Pretty relaxing on a Sunday morning, lol.
