Brushless Carwash

Anybody know of a brushless carwash on Long Island (specifically Suffolk county)?

Try http://www.mobilstations.com - most Mobil stations that have a car wash (one of the selectable search options) that I have seen are brushless car washes.

Worth a try.

You're telling me you don't wash your MINI by hand? Some people will have a fit about that.

Hey, some of us buy cars to primarily to drive them, not to fret over how they look. I'm one of those people that takes a while to wash my car, but I drive the crap out of it at every chance!

You're not the only one I drive the crap out of mine also, but I do take forever when washing and detailing. It took me 3 hours to detail the interior and I know Ryephile will top me out with that.

No I wasn't suggesting that you didn't drive yours hard too... just that I don't think keeping the car spotless, hand washing it only is a requirement to be a respected MINI owner!

I wasn't trying to disrespect anyone, just a warning for others who may flame this thread about how people should wash their Mini's. I'm not saying this or that is right or wrong, just a warning.

Sticky Wicket - I should have mentioned before that Mobil calls theirs "Touchfree", not "Brushless". Same thing... but if there is any kind of language barrier when you call (as you suggested already), you might fare better by asking if their car wash is touchfree.
