Any local low-car friendly touchless car wash?

Are there any in the HoCo area with an undercarriage wash?

Dolly's car wash on rt 40 in ellicott city. Only thing they don't have is the big air dryers but some people like that, some don't.

There's one in VA off Franconia Blvd, east of Van Dorn at the Shell station, but it's a bit of a hike from north of DC.

Dollys is very close. Do they have those rails that guide your car into position? Im not trying to scratch a wheel..

Exxon wash on Gorman rd near maple lawn. Fully touchless and good quality wash including undercarriage spray down. I've taken my cars there before when I didn't use ONR and do it myself, or if I wanted to spray salt off the undercarriage. They just redid the booth also, good service, 3 trim levels of washes, safe equipment and products used, blow dryers, areas for wiping dry and carpet vacs and air for tires.

The Exxon at 29 and Randolph Rd is really good. Undercarriage, touch less, blower and other amenities.

I'll second this one. It's obviously not as good as a hand wash, but it gets the job done especially in the winter.

They have like 5 bays that you can wash your own car in if you want to do it yourself. They have 2 completely touch less bays that have underbody jets. And they have the hand wash by employees that takes your car on that rail your talking about.

The touch less machine is good and at $11 isn't bad at all. Personally I wish they had the air dryer but not a big deal.
