Default Looking for Hand Wash in Melbourne

I am not one for washing my own car, and I am coming to Melbourne for the FPV open day and still want it to look it's best, can someone recommend a good 'hand wash' car cleaning centre in Melbourne (preferably near Ashley Gardens).

I can highly recommend Final Inspection in Brunswick. It has new owners since I went there, but the guy that set it up collects and filters water, used microfibre everything for wash and dry. My car came out of there looking awesome.

No they still wash. Your first post was spot on. Only way to clean a car, speed or quick detailer.
