Moved north of Boston so that I could have a garage and hose to wash.. Living in the city and trying to keep the car clean is hard..

You do have to check them out. They did such a good job on my old E55 when it came out of the body shop in such poor shape. Matt totally restored the paint finish and got rid of all the overspray.

There is this place in Franklin, a laserwash system at Rapid Refill on rt 140. First time I've ever experienced a truly touchless car wash in MA. They use pulsating water jets so the only thing that touches your car is soap and water. Gets the car pretty squeaky clean and I had caked on salt. The drying phase is not too bad, but could do a little bit better job. Perfect for long cold winters, when you can't do any handwashing.

I work downtown, and there is a full detail shop on the lowest floor of my parking garage. They do a nice job both interior and exterior. $100 for full interior cleaning (dash, leather, vacuum) and hand wash outside, wheel triming etc.

I go to Belmont Car Wash. They do a good job and use a lot of soap. They have detailing services as well, but I've never used that. Although I always see them working on higher end cars.

They also have a program for unlimited car washes, which I certainly get my money's worth from. Comes in really handy in the winter time.

If anyone needs a place to handwash their car, the invitation is always open. I have a long driveway, hose, vaccuum, etc..

(I live north of Boston)

Can't remember for sure. I think it was 35 or 40 for complete interior and exterior
