Providing a Fast and Fresh Touchless Car Wash
Kwik Shine Car Wash offers customers a high-quality touchless car wash at an affordable price. Kwik Shine Car Wash is located at 871 East Main Street, Ephrata, and is locally owned and operated.

The biggest way Kwik Shine Car Wash differs from their competition is that they are completely touchless. During the automatic car wash, no part of the machine will touch the vehicle. They use high quality chemicals, which are both safe and effective in cleaning your vehicle. Kwik Shine also has three self-serve bays for those that desire to hand wash their vehicles.
Jensen and his employees enjoy meeting new customers, as well as growing relationships with repeat customers. Kwik Shine’s ultimate goal is 100% satisfaction. They have a sign as you leave the facility that says, “If you are happy, tell others, if you are not, tell us…” They truly mean this. They want to make sure every customer is happy with a shiny vehicle, and if there are any unhappy customers, employees try to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
There are three kinds of washes to choose from when using the automatic bays. The Ultimate Wash includes a high pressure underblast, 2 step pre-soak, 2 high pressure rinses, tri-foam wax, clear coat foaming protectant, spot free rinse and the high powered dryer. The protectant used is Rust-oleam Ceramic Protectant that helps keep both your vehicle cleaner longer after washing by rejecting dirt and debris, as well as creating a higher shine by bonding to and protecting the paint on your vehicle. The Premium Wash also includes a high pressure underblast, 2-step pre-soak, high pressure rinse and the high powered dryer. The Kwik Wash includes 2 step pre-soak, high pressure rinse and spot free rinse. Unlimited wash passes are available and can be used in any automatic bay and the self-serve bays.
