Car Wash Recommendations
Basically I'm looking for either one of these options either in the Fairfax or Alexandria/Franconia area.
1. Completely touchless rail-less laser wash or... 2. 100% hand wash (preferably under $30) Who knows of anything like this? I'll start off with 2 places I know. Pro-Clean of Tysons Corner - 100% hand wash 1524-V Springhill Road Tysons Corner, VA 22102 703-448-1001 Sunoco - laser wash 5000 Westone Plaza Centreville, VA 20120 |

I just use it to wash salt off during the winter. It doesn't really wash off dirt and grim if there's any built up. So prolly not what you're looking for.

The Shell station at on Franconia by Rose Hill isn't too bad (just of Van Dorn). I use it during the winters.

I had the same problem since I can't get on the rails at most car washes and my roof is wrapped CF so I didn't want to risk tearing that.
I just use Griotts Garage waterless car wash and then a speed shine after - it is faster and looks much better than anything your going to pay for - http://www.amazon.com/Griots-Garage-...rage+waterless |

For $12...can't beat it if you're in the area. Got all the salt/winter crap off around my car. Water pressure's really strong... even shook my car a little bit. Only thing is, next time I think I will spray my wheels with some cleaner and then go in.

Is the Sunoco Laser wash touchless? Anyone have more suggestions for a good car wash (preferably touchless) around Fairfax Station/Burke? Mom's now driving the old E90 and she can't bring herself to go to any random car wash after watching me painstakingly detail the car by hand in the dead of winter during my ownership, haha.

Thanks for the info but I need a little more information than "up the street from you". Haha -- and is it a touchless?

I got fed up with these touchless car washes that doesn't really wash my car clean and still leaves my wheels dirty. I wanna find someone that will hand wash my car from now on.

I'm in CT now but my parents live in NoVA and my mom drives my old e90. I'd appreciate it if you could look into it and get back to me -- Burke would be a much easier haul for her than laser wash in Centreville.

+1 would be pretty sweet if I could get the car washed quickly during lunch or something along those lines.
