On a side note, a friend took his custom Dodge Magnum to a touchless. The arm of the machine was loose and took out the entire side of the car. 100s of hours to repaint the graphics probably cost the caw wash owner a heart attack when he got the bill.
David,

It's been awhile since I lived in Mass, so my memory of the geography there is a little foggy. Having said that, there was a really good car wash right off the highway in Natick when I was living there. It's where we always took our government cars to get done.


Personally, MY cars never see a car wash--Touch or Touchless; I do it myself. I know the quality of my work, and I know that when I do it, the person washing my car cares about my car, so they're going to be careful not to screw up the paint
