Hi all:
I'm looking for some recommendations for a good car wash for my 04 TL. I live in Cambridge, and work in Allston/Brighton area, so any of those area or Brookline is cool w/ me. I'm just a little afraid of my rims getting scuffed by the track. Any recommendations, I know not everyone hand wash their TL.

Your joking right?

The Scrub-A-Dub I use in Woburn has rubberized covers on the wheel track, so that rims don't get scratched. If there's one near you, you might want to check it out. The Allston Car Wash on Western Avenue does a good job, but I haven't brought the TL there yet because I haven't checked to see if their track is covered.

Where in Woburn is it ? I checked on maps.yhaoo.com and i didn't find it. I also was about to ask the same question regarding car wash in boston area, since I physically don't have time to take proper car of my TL myself. So I opt for least destructive was as well,

The was in Brighton is pretty good, but I don't know how it would work with TL rims. I used to wash my Grand Prix when I used to have it and when I used to live in Brighton.

On Mishawum Road. It has a Texaco gas station (probably Shell by now) attached to it. Near American Joe's and China Pearl, across from the Woburn Mall, just off the Washington Street exit from 128.

Why would I be kidding?? I love my car, but I live in a full service building so there's no driveway to wash it; I also have plenty of other things to do than to find a spot to hand wash my car, thus the car wash.

I was told by my friend that the Scrub-Dub in Brookline will detail and hand wash a car for $40, but I'm looking for a good wash around $10-$20 range. With winter coming, figure once or twice a month wash is probably somewhat necessary.

Are there any brushless, touch-free washes in Boston metro ? are they any better on paint ?

I occasionally use a touch-free drive-in in Wakefield, on Water Street. Can't remember the name at the moment, but they do a good job, and take credit cards too.

I haven't noticed any adverse effects on the paint.
