Hand washed.Not rushed.
A traditional hand car wash for people who want their vehicle treated with care. We don't put your car through an automatic machine or rush it through a conveyor. Every vehicle is carefully washed by hand using dedicated equipment, quality cleaning products and microfiber towels.
The Wash Valet way
At Wash Valet, we perform an artisan hand wash on your car without rushing.
We treat every wash as a small craft job, not a timed race. That means more attention on the details — wheels, glass, lower panels and the places machines usually miss.
Our services
Hand washed. Not rushed.
01 — Only Exterior
Our signature exterior hand-wash service.
A careful three-stage process combining pre-washing, foam cleaning, hand washing and ceramic wax protection.
Step 1 — Pre-wash & decontamination
- Full exterior water rinse
- Insect and bug removal
- Wheel and tire cleaning
- Careful cleaning of heavily contaminated areas
- Thorough rinse
This first stage helps remove loose dirt before the contact wash, reducing unnecessary friction on the paint.
Step 2 — Foam & hand wash
- Full foam treatment
- Gentle hand wash
- Separate equipment for wheels and paint
- Panel-by-panel cleaning
- Thorough final rinse
We work from the cleanest areas toward the dirtiest areas, leaving the lower panels until last.
Step 3 — Ceramic wax & finish
- Ceramic wax protection
- Final clean-water rinse
- Careful microfiber towel drying
- Final inspection of the exterior
The result is a clean, protected and embellished finish with water repellency.
Hand washed. Not rushed.

The method
The Wash Valet method
Rinse
We begin with a thorough water rinse to remove loose dirt and road grime.
Clean
Insect contamination, wheels and tires are treated separately before the main contact wash.
Foam
A foam treatment helps loosen remaining dirt before we safely touch the paint.
Hand wash
We wash by hand with a dedicated microfiber wash mitt and quality car shampoo. The wash is performed gently, panel by panel, rather than aggressively scrubbing the paint.
Protect
Our ceramic wax treatment adds gloss and protection to the exterior finish.
Dry
The vehicle is carefully dried using premium microfiber towels to minimize unnecessary friction and water spots.
Inspect
Before handing the vehicle back, we perform a final visual inspection of the exterior and interior.
Why hand wash?
Automatic car washes are intended for speed.
We're intended for care.
Your vehicle is cleaned by hand, allowing us to pay attention to areas that machines simply cannot treat properly. We take our time with the details — wheels, lower panels, mirrors, handles, glass, grilles and other areas where dirt likes to hide.
Because when it comes to your car:
Details matter.
Our promise
Hand washed. Not rushed.
We believe a proper car wash should be more than simply making a car look clean.
It should be a careful process.
From the first rinse to the final microfiber towel, every step is performed with attention to the vehicle and its finish.
Wash Valet — traditional hand washing with a modern standard of care.

Questions
Answers, upfront.
Do you really wash at my house?
We come to you and hand-wash your car in your driveway.
Do you need my water or electricity?
We need access to a water source at your address. We bring all the equipment, soap and towels ourselves.
Is it really all by hand?
Always. Soft wash mitts, pH-neutral soap and microfibre drying towels. No brushes or machines touch your paint.
What if it rains or freezes?
If heavy rain, thunderstorms, hard frost or other conditions make the work unsafe or prevent a satisfactory result, we'll contact you as early as possible. Choose a free new appointment or a full refund. Light rain may be workable when the location is suitable.
Can you wash in an underground garage?
Yes, as long as building rules allow it and there's room to work around the car.
Which areas do you cover?
We wash in Riga and the surrounding area. If you are unsure whether we reach your address, enter it when booking or contact us and we will confirm.
Do I need to be home?
Not necessarily. If the car is accessible and access isn't required, we can wash the exterior while you're out.
