I go to those self wash kind of places rather than the automated brushless places. In fact....I just go there to use their high pressure water...

I hand wash my car.

Kinda funny when people drive by and are like...wtf..he's handwashing?

The Exxon near the intersection of Baron Cameron and Reston Parkway (same plaza as the Home Depot) is touchless if you havent found one yet.

Everyone's dirt from before you. People wash their tires as well with the same brush you'll be putting on your paint. Bad news...

Actually, this is much appreciated info, as my girlfriend is hounding me to find a touchless wash in the Reston area so she can wash during work. She is in to her car too much, its putting a strain on this relationship!

I work out in Reston town center. This would be ideal if this exxon doesn't have any rails. Does it?
