take it to a respectable place, my good friend owns and runs a hand car wash place and is very good, never had any problems and no scratches and its cheeper because im his friend, and i never had heard a bad word said about him, i would never use the drive through place though

how about a compromise- just rinse off the dirt with a hosepipe and wash it when your hand is better
