Your Post-Burning Man Car Wash
Welcome back, Burners! Is your car caked in playa dust? If so, the Divisadero Touchless Car Wash is here to help -- for a price.

Just like last year, the car wash at Divisadero and Oak is offering to restore your car to its former glory (or better). This year's price is $60 -- an increase of $5 from 2012. As explained by the car wash itself:
"Washing a vehicle that has been to Burning Man is the equivalent of special detailing services. The desert environment has permeated every interior and exterior surface. We need extra people, time, and special products to clean metal and fiberglass surfaces. Extra attention is required for door jams, wheels, dashboards, seats and windows. We DO NOT open the hood and clean engines or ventilation systems."
So, not cheap, but probably worth it. Besides, you've got better things to do today than cleaning your car. Like cleaning yourself, for starters...
