Touchless car wash around Boston?

Just detailed the paint on my Jerez Black M3, looks great!
This paint only looks good when it is well maintained. Anyone know a good place to do automatically touchless car wash around Boston area? I don't want to hand wash it under such cold weather~

Neponset Circle car wash near Quincy, off exit 12 on I-93, has a touchless car wash. Touchless car wash are nice if you're in a hurry. But it will not be as clean as washing it yourself. There's always some dirt/salt left over.

There's one in Wakefield off Water St.

Two 2 of the lanes are touch-less.

I bring my Land Rover to this place in the winter. They have touch free and light touch. Not the best at drying and getting all the soap off but I talked to the owner a few weeks ago and he told me they were updating some of the equipment.

Yea, it's not perfect, but it gets to job done clearing off a lot of that grime in the winter.

That's good to hear about the new equipment. Hopefully it's still touchless.

Have you tried The Barn Car Wash (http://www.barncarwash.net/) at 110 Bennett Hwy (Rt 1 N) in Saugus? I have found thier Touch Free to be one of the better ones around. The Touch Free tunnel is to the right of the regular Wash Tunnel.

Hands down best wash. I have been friends with the owner since we were kids. He is constantly updating chemicals and equipment to make his wash better than all the others around. Always concerned with quality of how the cars come out, not quantity. Mine is there just about every other day!

I went there once several years ago with my 330 and used the touchless wash. I thought the water jets were way too aggressive and felt like the pressure was going to cut right through the paint. I actually thought the pressure was going to shatter my sunroof!
I haven't been back since so maybe its not like that anymore.

I use ROJO in Norwood, corner of RT 1 and Everett Street. Or the one on 38 in Tewksbury. Both touchless with nice strong dryer/blowers.
