Self wash place in Northern NJ?

I live in an apartment complex, so I don't have access to a water hose. Aside from using a bucket and repeatedly going back and forth, I'm looking for a self-wash place somewhere in the northern Jersey area. I've seen places that provide coin operated self-washes in Maryland, but don't know of any around here. I've been going to hand-washes, but each time I think I'm getting more and more swirl marks from their towels. Anyone got any suggestions?

I know of a place in Passaic but it's in a ghetto neighborhood. I don't know if it's still open and it's coin operated.

BTW, bring your own towel next time cause I wouldn't trust any of their towels.

I did some additional searches on Yahoo and found one that I liked:

Spotless Self-Serv
424 River # C, Hackensack, NJ 07601
Phone: (201) 487-1196

It's pretty easy to get to, well lit, and 24 hours. I did a drive by tonight and actually ran into someone there at 2AM! Anyway, he says he's been going there for two years now at these god-awful hours without any problems. In fact, going late night gives him more time to detail his car since during the day there's a line, so you're rushed out of there.

Hackensack off route 4, going south on river road
Union, off parkway, going west on the blvd.

The one in hackensack is usually cleaner, but is more expensive.

There is also one down in edison, on route 1. That one is new. I am not sure if it's any good.

I use them in the winter to wash my wife's car.
For the TLS, I barely wash or polish it. It's just a family car.
I just send it off for detailing twice a year.
