Can anyone recommend a touchless automatic car wash in or close to Montclair, NJ? With all the salt on the roads I'd like to get my car washed as much as possible, but I don't have time to wash it myself (or the inclination to do so in this weather), and would rather not pay $25 a week to have it hand-washed. The dealer claimed that touchless automatic car washes are fine but advised me to avoid conventional washes.

Thanks!

 

Well, I did manage to find one place online that looks like it's touchless: Quality Car Care, 189 Bloomfield Ave. in Verona. I'll try it out this week and post a follow-up, as this seems to be a recurring question to the small, dedicated cadre of Essex County New Jerseyans with cars they don't want to have trashed by car wash brushes (judging by Google search results).

 

Water works car wash & detail in jersey city. found them on a bmw forum. just google them an you can see all the good reviews.

 

OK, this was nearly a year ago, but it looks like I never followed up. Quality Car Care did an excellent job. Not a better-than-you-can-do-at-home-with-four-hours-and-$100-worth-of-equipment job, but an excellent job for a touchless semi-automatic car wash. Very much recommended for anyone in the area.
