I am surprised to see the bad reviews of another location, as the new Milton (Alpharetta-Windward) location of Cactus does a great job at a great price. Granted, this is the typical machine wash, followed by air/hand dry and then vacuum, but the staff that did the grunt work- vacuum, windows, etc. took extra care compared to the competition. I watched as a manager squinted towards the sun through my windows to find spots and had the worker do them over a couple times. This may be initial exuberance for a new operation but I hope it continues. All staff, from the greeter through cashier and manager who gives the car one last inspection when you drive out were friendly and professional. Inside, a Southwestern theme abounds, with computers/internet should you wish to do some browsing, a reasonably priced coffee/snack bar, and big screen TV while you wait. They even hand you a free cold bottled water when you leave which is a nice touch. The $18 or $20 washes are throrough and sufficient for most customers. One drawback - no free ""rewash"" should you get rained on or dirty in the first 24-48 hours which the competition offers. Service was done in about 20 minutes. I used to frequent Sky down the road through their membership program, but similar service sometimes took an hour or more, was more expensive, and not done any better than Cactus. I highly recommend a trip to the new location if you are in North Fulton.
Pros: Thorough, friendly, fairly priced, done in 15-20 minutes
Cons: No free rewash within 24-48 hours like the competition
