So, just moved to the area and can't seem to find a touchless car wash. I'm in the Aurora area and would never go through a wash with brushes. My car is in desperate need of a wash.

he's from Colorado. I'm guessing when "it get cold out" during the winter a bucket of warm water ain't gunna do the trick. Two buckets maybe - one for the car and one for his ***** so they don't completely shrivel up.

I don't live far from aurora, I don't think there are any touchless car washes. There's a drivethrough brown bear on 160th and aurora. But that's about it

The modern 2-bucket system is not designed for ********* of that magnitude. You would need a 2-bucket+sidecar system.

Note: Washing a car in freezing temps really, really blows. Yet I still do it every year, complaining the entire time.

So I went by the brown bear today for the self-wash thing.

waste of money. all it's good for is spraying all the salt off your car. i suppose if you brought your own sponge and hand-washed the car it'd do better, but the "power washer" they have doesn't get jack **** off the car. i would also never use their brushes aside from on your wheels

that sucks...i'm renting a place so the soap and bucket is a last resort really.

damn colorado. chicago had hundreds and hundreds of self washing stalls and touchless car washes which were perfect.

At least you will be used to sucky winters.

If we had 3" of snow in Seattle 1/2 of the people would lose their effin minds while the other half would would be struck by the first half without minds, while exiting their cars they tried to abandon on the side of the freeway.

Another option would be to use something like ONR to wash the car during winter months. You only need ~2 gallons of water. Once you get good with it you can wash the entire vehicle in ~10 min. I usually pressure wash all the gunk off then give it an ONR bath during winter which works very well - http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-no-rinse.html

I'm out past the boonies in Idaho Springs, like 30 minutes west of denver on I-70 and we have one. None-the-less, I prefer the wash it yourself method, it was pretty warm this week and it should be next week too, maybe I think?
So my method is wash my car whenever I can when its warm out.

Chitown = Rustbelt Country = Damn Straight they better have endless amounts of self service car washes. I used to get my car washed every week when I lived in WI at the local gas station's touch free wash.

I go to one of the self serve places late at night and drop like $10 bucks and bring a spongue and then I can take my time.
