Touchless car wash (Toronto Area)
I have a bit of a problem, my car is now too low to go on any car wash with a track. And being too cold outside means that I can't go out and wash it either. Anyone know of any trackless/touchless carwashes in the GTA? I remember hearing of one where you drive in and jets just circle spray the car for a little bit. Its been over a month and a half since my last wash, it needs it bad...

I know of some north of the city. Sunoco at Hwy 7 and yonge, also Sunoco on Rutherford btwn dufferin and bathurst.
Also, just a tip, when your driving out make sure you stay under the drier for a long time. There is a timer there so use the full time, some ppl jsut drive out and then there car is still wet.
Not sure if that helps or not.

Im not sure if all Esso carwashes are rotating, but there is one on Dixie and Dundas, you might want to check out Esso.

The thing I don't like about the Esso's ( particularly Bayview and 16th) is that they are good untill the drier, they have that drier with the wheels that comes down and rolls on ur car.

the wheel is not supposed to touch your car, its only supposed to be there as a safety measure.

The Esso at Yonge and Steeles has your standard track guided touchless as well as an indoor Self Wash area. The self wash area might be an option.

I use Esso touchless ones, free washes bcus i have a few thousand points with them.
The ones in my area, dont have a track (you stop ur car, and everything goes around you) Also the driers suck bcus they are placed high....they dont come down, nor do they have rollers or anything that touches ur car.
I have a big towell in the back I use to clean off exess water.
