Good hand car wash in Boston area?

Hi guys,

As the title says...I'm looking for a good hand car wash in the Boston area. I live in an apartment, so I can't wash the car myself. And I would never put one of my cars through a scratch-o-matic.

Any leads?

Scrub-a-dub in the Allston/Brighton area is where I always go. They are located just off Storrow Dr. by the CompUSA and Dunkin Donuts.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I went there today. It was very nice for a scratch-o-matic. But I'm still looking for a proper hand car wash. My BMW is too low to clear the metal rail and I don't like running the Evo through automatic washes.

they are located on cambridgh st. in allston. the are good, i use them all the time. if you have some extra money though, you should go to the car wash at the prudential center. it is located in the parking garage (orange level i beleive) and they do fantastic job.

Cool! I'll check them out. Plus, it's much closer to me (I live in Charlestown, not too far from the Gallery Mall).

You know, they have Laser Car Washes now. Instead of those huge "brushes" and "scrubbers" you have foam and laser clean your car.

I have so many scratches and dents on the car I stopped washing it a long time ago.

+1, but I don't think you can find one during late falls or winter time. Wait till the next summer.

Yes, that's the place. I would wash the car myself, but like I said...I live in an apartment and don't have a place to do it on my own.
