Tidal Wave Auto Spa | Car Wash

Tidal Wave Auto Spa is next to Goodwill at 2600 34th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33713. The location phone is (706) 558-6500, and the published schedule is daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It uses a soft-touch tunnel rather than a touchless system: an attendant can prepare key exterior areas before the car enters. Free after-wash stations include high-powered vacuums, towels, and glass and surface cleaner. The business accepts major credit and debit cards; its location page says it does not take cash.

The St. Petersburg menu has four main wash options, with single-visit and unlimited prices:

• Simply Clean: $15 single wash or $29.97 monthly; includes rain repellant, 3X conditioner and tire shine.
• Hot Wax: $20 single or $39.97 monthly; adds hot wax and underbody rinse.
• Ceramic + Super Shammy: $24 single or $45.97 monthly; adds ceramic gloss, wheel shield and polishing steps.
• Graph-X4 + Super Shammy: $25 single or $49.97 monthly; top listed tier with Graph-X4, ceramic, rain repellant, tire shine and additional protective treatments.

The Clean Club permits one wash daily at any Tidal Wave location. Membership cancellation can be managed online or in person with seven days’ notice; the company says cancellations are not refunded.

Customer comments at this site mention helpful attendants, a clean facility and the convenience of the vacuum area. The posted menu gives practical tradeoffs: a lower-cost wash for a routine exterior clean, or added wax and ceramic treatments at a higher price. The finish area is included with a purchase or active membership, so it can be used to tidy the cabin after the tunnel. Before enrolling, compare the one-time price with the automatic monthly renewal and read the cancellation conditions. This is a soft-touch tunnel, not a brush-free option; drivers seeking a fully touchless process should compare another location.
