Touchless Car Wash in Seattle

[nanoflux]

Hey guys...have any of you guys seen one of the touchless car wash things anywhere in the Seattle area? It's one of the automated car wash things that one would normally find at a gas station or something. It doesn't have any brushes, so it doesn't scratch your car. Not 100% clean, but great for a winter wash.

Thanks!

eh i'm from NY so this doesnt help..but just wanted to comment..

you know how you have to pull your left wheel through those mtel bars and onto that senser to activate the wash? Well i always get the undercarraige wash so when i'm just entering the wash i can't see jack sh!t because water is spraying to the ceiling...anyways, every damn time i end up hitting my tire on one of the two bars surrounding the sensor, then it straightens my wheel and slides down making all sorts of not nice noises and scratching my rims...good thing they're steel wheels for winter

and no, I'm not a precision driver

There is a touchfree carwash on 85th in Kirkland, take 405 north, get off at 85th, stay right, turn right off the exit (only way to) go on 85th until you see the shell on your left, there's a touchfree carwash there.

I still wash it out infront of my garage tho, who cares if its cold. Just don't do like I did and set the hose down and have it land on the handle spraying you with cold water when its 42° out.

Why would anybody want to take their car to a car wash??? My car is my baby...nobody touches her, not even the wife!

It's a good thing I have a second car. The bimmer doesn't get out of the garage unless the road is absolutely dry.

following that rational are you always going to cut your son/daughters hair yourself?

LOL. I think that we have all done that at one time or another.

Arco on 15th by Seattle University has one of those. There is the metal guides for your tires tho! when my car was stock height I used to wash it there. I would actually soap my car first.... why not go to a brown bear car wash. just bring your own bucket for soaping, then use the high pressure washer..... Thats where I go now, in bellevue at NE8th and 148th , i think its a spirit of 76 there formerly BP
