Our tunnel uses cloth and foam strips — no stiff bristles. If you'd rather skip the tunnel entirely, our hand wash service uses microfiber mitts and a two-bucket method that's safe on ceramic coatings and paint protection film." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How much is a full car wash at Mr Sparkle?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Single washes start at $12 (Basic Express — exterior wash plus outside windows) and go up to the Protection Package, which adds carpet vacuuming, console and dashboard wipe-down, interior window cleaning, sealer, sparkle-brite sealer, tire shine, undercarriage flush, and rust inhibitor. Most customers spend $20–$30 per visit." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you offer senior discounts?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes, we offer senior discounts— every Sunday and Wednesday. No signup required, just mention it when you pull in." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can you remove pet hair, odors, or stains?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes, we can remove pet hair, odors, or stains. Our Professional Deep Clean handles pet hair removal, odor removal (including ozone treatment for smoke), seat shampooing, and carpet shampooing. If it's a heavy job, send photos in advance — we'll quote accurately so there are no surprises on the invoice." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you do mobile car wash and detailing in Lexington?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes, we offer mobile car wash and detailing in Lexington, including surrounding areas like Chevy Chase, Beaumont, Hamburg, and Nicholasville Road. We bring our own water and power to your home, office, or job site anywhere in the Lexington area and surrounding zip codes. Forrest runs the mobile crew. Standard mobile service from $89." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does a full detail take?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A full detail takes about 60–90 minutes for a standard full detail. Restoration work — paint correction, ceramic coating, headlight restoration, ozone treatment — takes longer. We'll quote the time when you drop the car off." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does a single car wash take?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "A single car wash takes roughly 5–10 minutes for our Basic Express, and 10–15 minutes for the Express Mega or Protection Package (which add interior vacuum and wipe-down). Tunnel washes don't require an appointment — just drive in. Wait times go up at lunchtime on Saturdays and after the first rain following pollen season." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Will the car wash damage my car's paint?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No, the car wash will not damage your car's paint. Our tunnel uses soft cloth and foam strips designed for modern clear-coat finishes — not the stiff bristles older drive-throughs used to. For ceramic-coated, paint-protection-filmed, or freshly waxed vehicles, our hand wash service skips the tunnel entirely. For general guidance on washing frequency and paint care, see AAA's auto care articles." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What size vehicles can you wash?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We can wash standard cars, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, and most light pickup trucks fit our tunnel. Oversized vehicles — lifted trucks, full-size cargo vans, dual-rear-wheel trucks, vehicles with aftermarket bumpers or roof racks — may need our hand wash service instead. Call ahead with your make, model, and any modifications and we'll let you know." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you wash cars for free on your birthday?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No, but gift certificates work year-round and our Unlimited Wash Club is the cheapest way to keep a car clean if you wash even once a week. Senior specials run every Sunday and Wednesday." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you have self-service or do-it-yourself bays?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "No, we do not have self-service or do-it-yourself bays. Mr Sparkle is a full-service operation — someone preps, washes, vacuums, and finishes every vehicle on the lot. If a coin-fed self-serve is what you need, we're not the right fit, and we'll point you to the nearest spot." } } ] }

Mr Sparkle, Lexington KY -

Three generations of Lexington drivers have washed their cars here

Mr Sparkle opened in 1961. We're family-owned, locally operated, and tucked next to the bowling alley on Collins Lane — not on the strip with the new builds. Many of our regulars are second- and third-generation: drivers who first came in with their parents and now bring their own kids.

Our crew has been doing this for decades.  Every car gets prepped by hand before it touches the tunnel. We dress tires twice (once before the wash, once after, because the car shifts as it rolls and you miss spots if you only dress them once). On hand wash and detail work, we use the two-bucket method — a paint-safe technique recognized by the International Detailing Association. That's the kind of attention that takes years to learn, and it's the thing most reviews point to.

Honest take: we're not the cheapest wash in town, and we don't have a coin-fed self-serve bay. If you need a $5 self-serve, we'll point you to the right spot. If you want a full-service wash where someone actually looks at your car, this is where we earn the price.
