Help find a Self Serve Car Wash around NYC...

Hey guys,

Anyone here (from NYC)wash their cars at a self serve car wash? I live in Queens, New York and would go about 1/2 hr out of my way to find one. One closest to me was closed recently.

Thanks a bunch in advance...!

I know of a few out here in Jersey, but depending on how fast you drive, it would take more a bit more than a half an hour.

Let me know if you want the address anyway.

Hey Watch,

I visit my cousin around Meadowlands every
once in a while, it might be a good excuse
to visit him more often. Shoot me the address
if you don't mind...Thanks!

I don't know how far it is from Queens, but there's one on the highway that crosses the GW, I think US 46?, in S. Hoboken, probably 3, 4 miles from the bridge, it's behind & part of a large carwash place, across from Dunkin Donuts...........
Oh yeah, it's not that far from the Meadowlands, maybe 4 or 5 miles.

Thanks Say,

That's a reasonable drive. I haven't washed my car since the local self serve closed.
My wife's best friend lives in Fort Lee, takes me less than 30 min. to get there w/ no traffic. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Just remember, if you're using the brush to spray it off FIRST before you use it on your car. I NEVER use it on mine, because I am really paranoid.

Well, I use it to clean the brake dust off my wheels though, but that's it.
