I'm relocating to the Norcross/Duluth/Roswell area. My car is being shipped to me from Cali, and should arrive next week. Since I am staying in corporate housing for a while, I don't have access to any place to wash my car. So, I am looking for the best (i.e. non-scratch) car wash facility in the area. After it's washed, I will likely find a shady spot to wax it, so all I need is a good basic wash.

Any recommendations?

You should consider trying ONR. It's a rinseless wash that works very well.

All you need are a couple of buckets (you can fill them with water from inside), a couple of grit guards (not needed but strongly recommended with ONR especially), some wash media (sheepskin mitt, grout sponge, etc) and a nice MF drying towel or two. If you can find a nice shady spot to wax, might as well ONR it yourself too!

I wouldn't trust any car wash (normal or touchless) to get the car clean enough to apply wax. If you're going a while between waxes, you may want to consider a sealant rather than a carnauba wax. A coat of wax may last anywhere from 4-8 weeks (maybe a little more in some cases), but the sealant will give you months of protection (and a nice shine).

Both DetailedImage and DetailersDomain carry ONR (along with an assortment of sealants and waxes and everything else).

Thanks...never heard of ONR, bt I'll check it out. I do use sealant by the way...Klasse, but I think you are right...a car wash certainly wouldn't get it clean enough to do a sealant job, even though I would use the Klasse All-In-One product this time out.
