3800 I need an indoor, self-service car wash?

[98GTPDriva]

I usually wash my GP every week or two in the winter in my front yard or garage, but it's just getting too cold for me to do that now as 30* is my threshold. Does anyone know of an INDOOR, SELF-SERVICE (do-it-yourself) car wash around the Palatine area? I'm willing to travel to the northern burbs, nw burbs, western burbs and outskirts of Chicago. Cost is not an issue, I just want a solid two hours to wash, add rain-x and possibly throw on a quick coat of wax. 50 degrees is plenty warm for me too...

Do these places exist???

TIA!

There is a self serve carwash right by your house on Hicks and Industrial Ave. Its covered but I wouldnt consider it totaly indoors. I wouldnt use there brushes though, they would probably scratch the shit out of your car, and it would probably cost big money for 2 hours. There is a touchless wash (Route 62) on Algonquin in Palatine, its the only place I take my car if im too lazy to wash it myself. High end cars go through there all day long.

you are pretty much screwed on that one.

Wax b4 winter. I use to do it in the spray boths and just give it a quick spray and handwash. Other then that, you could take it to a TRUE hand car wash that is indoors....There is a real good one on 95th and Central just off the corner.

I've used that one before on Hicks and Industrial Ave., but half of the time the water does not work.

I actually put on several coats of sealant/wax before winter, but the paint is not as smooth as before and I want to freshen it up a bit.

Thanks, but that is a bit too far for me.

If you were closer I would jump on it.




If anyone has a garage/shop where I can do the above, I will ALSO wash your car for letting me use your location.

Yep, just washed mine in about 75* heat as well.....the old HS auto shop.

I even had it on the lift and sprayed the underside down!

I just washed mine in my shop yesterday.
There is just something about a clean car on a cold winter day.
Sorry, dont mean to rub it in

I "washed" mine yesterday. In reality I just sprayed it off at superwash for a min. or two until I got cold and pussed out. Needless to say the car still looks like ass, but hey, at least it's blue now.
It was kinda cool watching the water freeze onto the car on impact though. Not so cool having an ice covered car.

I washed my car in a self serve place this morning and the water was freezing almost as soon as it hit the car. I hate having salt all over the place, but it's too cold outside.
