About us

A Charleston wash for Charleston cars.

Locally owned in West Ashley since 2017.

Our story

Built for salt air, sand and pollen season.

The Drayton family opened Tidewater after watching their own cars rust early from coastal salt. The tunnel was designed with an underbody flush on every wash from day one.

Today it runs seven days a week, with a detail shop next door and a water reclaim system that reuses most of the water in every wash.

  • Soft cloth, never bristle brushes
  • Water reclaim system
  • Free vacuums and mat cleaners
