It's simple. I'm looking for a carwash in the Baltimore area that is essentially a hose. I'll bring my own bucket and soap. I just want a hose! Does anyone know of such a place? It's frustrating being up here and having the car covered in salt. I'm dreading going to a gas station car wash. Help me!

 

Where are you at in 'Balmurr'? I'm up in White Marsh

And no, I don't know of anywhere that is a DIY w/ their hose car wash.

 

UGH :( That sucks. I'm right in the city in Fells Point

 

if you come out of the city towards the balmer city/county line, there is a place called Bud's Car wash. it's a self wash where you pop in quarters for a certain amount of time. High pressure washer. I usually take a bucket and sponge with me. rinse the car off and fill the bucket. then soap down the car and rinse again.

it's on the SW side of balmer off Wilkens Ave behind the KFC/Taco Bell.
Easiest way from downtown is to take 95S then take Caton Ave exit towards Wilkens. Make a left on Wilkens which is the light after the hospital. Drive about two miles, and the road splits. in the middle of the split there is a dunkin donuts. you can go left at that light there, and you will see the car wash on your right.


if you go right at the split, you will see the kfc/taco bell just turn in the little alley before it and it will go right to the car wash.

 

Perfect! I actually found out about this right before I read your post. Is it open in the winter?

 

should be. it's one of those self washes. so they are usually open year round.
