Help! Best car wash in Central Jersey

This year we got a lot of rain and snow and the weather is unsually cold. I normally like to wash my own car, weather permits. Does anyone know any brushless or hand wash in Central Jersey that does a good Job? Thanks in advance

I m in Norhern NJ and usually wash my own and would nt go to any kind of car wash. But like you mentioned with it being so cold and messy this year so far I ve used a hand car wash in Rochelle Pk on Main st. They do one car at a time right there where you can watch. They also use an air gun blow all they water out of the mirrors and trim before drying. I suspect this might be a little to far north for you.

A bit far west, but I've used the Sumner Avenue car wash in Allentown PA. $5 and they hand wash and dry the car with towels. It's at N 8th St and Sumner Avenue in Allentown PA.

Central Jersey's full of car washes. I've usually seen two to three in every town. Most of the carwashes these days use foam instead of brushes. Just find out if they're brushless to make sure your paint wont get scratched, and you're good to go.

How about connecting the pipe to hot water tap and giving your car a hot bath ?

Thanks for the information. I know that one in New Brunswick and I am glad that you also like it. The reason I posted is that perhaps some member knows a great car wash in this area that I am not familiar with. Thanks again

I don't know where you are located, but I use Capital Car Wash on Princeton Avenue in Lawrence Township, near Trenton. It is brushless and they do a reasonably good job.

If you're a detailing freak the best thing is wash it yourself even if it's brushless after that they will wipe your car with worn out towels that will cause swirl marks.I only wipe my car with microfiber.

PJs in Wall is good. There is also an automatic named the auto spa on the South-bound side of Route 9 in Marlboro. It is South of the Texas road intersection.
