Can You Get a Car Detailed at an Apartment or Condo Parking Lot?

Quick answer

Yes, most apartment and condo lots allow mobile detailing, especially interior and low-water services. Check your building's or HOA's rules first; detailers can use rinseless washes where hoses or runoff aren't permitted.

Some Boston, Cambridge and Somerville buildings restrict vendors in garages or require advance notice.

Low-water options

Rinseless and waterless washes clean safely with minimal runoff, ideal for garages and tight lots.
