Default Car Wash

Anyone here use any carwashes in town? I have two kids now (3 and 1 year olds) and I just don't have the time I used to in order to spend several hours washing the 'vette. The wife would KILL me if I spent that much time outside and left her inside with the kids. Once they are a little older, it won't be an issue but my weekends go by in the blink of an eye now. I was using Performance Mobile Detailing to get it cleaned while at work, but I'm looking for a touchless carwash that I can use on the weekend. Any ideas are appreciated...

They may be touchless, but watchout for the brushes that clean the tires as they can do a number on the wheels (rims).

Actually, I don't wash the cars all that much any longer. Simply blow off the loose dust and then wipe down with detail spray. Much quicker when you can skip that drying step.

I doubt I would trust my cars at any commercial car washing facility.

Found one... across from Tire Kingdom on Appalachee Pkwy. It's touchless and doesn't use any kind of brushes on the rims. Makes it easy to wash off all the gunk from all the rains recently. With two young kids, I don't have the time to hand wash anymore, so it was either go dirty or find something and this one works perfect, plus it's only $6, $7, or $8 depending on which one you get. It works perfect with all the Rejex I have on my car too, everything washes right off.
