    Any good car washes you'd recommend?

    Looking for some suggestions or places you like.
    I live in Beaver but work in downtown Pittsburgh so anything north (off 60 or 65) would be nice or anything near downtown---don't mind going a little out of my way after work.
    I wash/detail my own cars when the weather is nice but would like to find a nice place, preferably hand wash or touchless, I don't do drive-through brushes on any car I care about.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    If you are looking for a detail - Rob. If you need to run your DD through one now and then in the winter - there is a touchless one in Moon Twp. I used it yesterday it was great! ;)

    I take mine through the one here in Bridgeville. They do it by hand and they do a nice job.

    Thanks for all the replies guys.
    I'm looking more for a place to do my DD during the winter or when I don't have the time. Back in Ohio I had a place that would vacuum the car, send it through a touchless machine, then dry it by hand including the windows and dash and tire dressing for $12.
    I'd like to find a place like that if possible. I try to never take cars I care about through the drive-thrus with brushes. I have one of those pull in touchless places down the street, but I'm looking for a place that will also hand dry and do a quick interior job when it needs it.

    BTW, nice color on the GT, makes me miss my MG Cobra---best color I've ever had on any car:

    Thanks gain for the input guys.
