Masters Car Wash on Hempstead Turnpike right off the Cross Island Expwy. Take the Hempstead Turnpike East Exit whichever way you're coming from..it's about a 1/4 mile down from Belmont Racetrack.

I heard allot of good things about the one in new hyde park. I used them a few times but i want something closer to queens. The one by goldfingers is close but i'm not trying to get swirls on the car.

Super Car Wash is $20. I see nothing but hot cars there. I think they do a great job for a car wash. The do detailing also for $200+.
