I knew that one... and they use big brushes, too... hardly to find one not using them. The reason Manhattan Acura suggested that shop is because it's closed to the dealership...

They're excellent and relatively cheap. How's 10 bucks for a leather conditioning job sound?
Only you have to go just over the Triborough Bridge to get there.

They're so meticulous that after washing, they dry every nook and cranny with a narrow tip air hose.
And also do the same thing with a toothbrush after a wax job. Everything's done by hand.

It's the O-N-L-Y place I take the Team Emerald City Chaircar.

Tell Anthony "T" sent ya!

Houston & Broadway closed down.

BoltJames,

Houston & Broadway car wash closed down a few months ago including the gas station.

They turn that whole piece of land into a new building currently coming up.

Is there a touchless wash some where within the NYC area? I think there is one in NJ and one in SI.

Just bring your TL to my house. I'll wash her. But you must leave the car for the day. Drop off at 9AM and pick up at 5PM.

J/K....LOL

I ever went to hand wash shop at exit 25? of LIE, (purely handwashing in Summer), and their rail never scratched my rims so far.


Now, I ask someone handwashing and vacuuming my car, about $10, weekly.
