Winters here, but luckily for us we get the occasional warm day which allows us to wash our cars. Since I am not able to use the hose at my house, where are some touchless/ brushless car washes people can use to make it to warmer days?

 

Step 1: drive around
Step 2: look
Step 3: enter wash

I know of a few, but nowhere near you live. Dont just look for a touchless wash, look for a wash that has no tracks-they can scratch wheels and damage side skirts...

 

even if you manage to sneak in a car wash, within 3 days TOPS your car will look like hell again

There's one on Gallows Rd near our work. abui01 mentioned to me before. I'm going to check it out after I get my car back.

 

^ it's the Exxon that's a walking distance from Sweet Water Taverns

 

I've seen 2 BPs with em, and no tracks to curb your rims on. If you come across a BP with a carwash, go take a look

 

Abui- thanks for that tip, thats actually next to my girlfriend's place, so easy to get to!


I didn't ask HOW to find one, I asked if anyone KNOWS of one.

 

In case you didnt get it, the first part of my post was a joke. The second part-regarding the rails/tracks was a serious fyi...

 

Sorry about that man, my sense of humor is sapped by 8 hours of mind numbing boredom. The FYI part of your post was so money, you don't even know it

 

lol no worries. many touchless in my area, only 1 I put the Z through...

 

I try to stay away, they never clean it well enough, always a film remaining

 

QFT... but its better than nothing until Spring arrives. But thanks to global warming, we are lucky these days to have 50-60 degree days every now and then throughout the winter!

 

i usually just go to one of those do it yourself car washes and wash the car in the winter...more effort but i just dont like drive through carwashes!

 

I actually did this once: I went to one of the brush self serve washes, but I took a bucket, sponge, soap etc, and washed the car with my stuff and just used the power spray to rinse. It worked ok except for you are paying twice to use the water, which really isn't a big deal.

 

Do they have a Flagship or something equivalent in the Tysons area?

I went to a brushless wash in a BP gas station, had the rails, Curbed the **** out of my Stock 18"s (thank god) last week

 

Weatherman says that we should remain within the 40s throughout the week so there's no excuse for dirty Zs. Unless you're like me and just lazy

 

I just pull it into my shop and wash it and then get my general service staff to dry up the floor.............im such an ahole of a boss.

 

If your in the chantilly area on rt.50 Lee Jackson Hwy, their is a shell with no ground bars and no brushes, it's brand new, and it has the rain-x. Since they upgraded the premium wash went from $8 to $12. But it is worth it, no bars, no brushes slamming and whipping on the car.
