laser carwash...
I ve gone to a soft cloth wash for years and never a problem, just dry the car yourself with$ clean micro fiber rags i go to Sams club and buy them in bulk as long you keep wax on the car you ll be fine i too have a VIP package unlimited washes for $20 a month works great

My car is desperate for a wash. I don't mind the cold cause I can use hot water. But the run off water turn into ice and become a huge safety issue.
Wish these touchless is around here. Is there a search I can use?

I've been using ONR since temps dropped and it works great. GA doesn't get that cold, but it's nice to be able to wash inside the garage day or night. Minimal run off once you get the technique down. I keep a few old towels to mop up the little bit of runoff (helps keep the garage floor clean as well). I was a bit hesitant about using it to remove the salt coat from my Christmas trip to VA, but it turned out every bit as clean as my traditional Z-7 washes.

I primarily use them during the winter months since I refuse to wash my car outside on my driveway but most importantly what I mentioned in post #16. There's hardly any chance of receiving swirl marks or even scratches on your paint from the cloth or spinning brushes.

Any touchless car washes in the Bronx? Does the touchless car wash dry the car good, or leaves water on the car. I am assuming it uses the same rinse concept as the arm and hammer car wash system?

Really!?!
If I remembered correctly, we have the "touchless car wash" or "laser car wash" in Taiwan when I was a kid (that is over 20 years ago).
Just did a quick search, there is only ONE "laser car wash" in Dallas, TX!

A lot of chevrons in norcal have these... ran the RX though one, they are pretty good 
The only downside is that it never dries the car properly, there is always a little water left behind..
