Touchless/Hand washes in NYC

I know there was a thread here with a list of them, but the search function isn't working in this thread for some reason.

I know theres Big A's in whitestone hand wash. Are there anymore around Queens?

Thanks

Also in the same area as Big A' in whitestone is Park Place which is on 12th rd in whitestone just down the block from cherry valley. They do a good job no t as thorough as Big A in my opinion but all in all a pretty decent job. I go there for a wash every now and again but I wouldn't have them wax the car because they use a really cheap wax that only lasts for like a month and they tend to get wax in the cracks etc. But for a $20 dollar hand wash they are pretty good.

The one thing that is better with Park Place over Big A is that they can do more cars at a time since they have a bigger crew and a much larger garage..they can do like 6 cars at once.

Thanks, so I'm looking at 20 bucks a wash at either place huh?

What are the hours like?

Oh and they do use the good stuff like microfiber towels and all the soft stuff so theres no scratching right?

They either use microfiber or they might use the absorber. Either way I have never had any problems there..Although my car is space gray and tends to hide scratches...my friend has a black 05 mustang GT and he really does not take all that good care of it, but on occasion he take it to them and for $40 bucks they washed it waxed it and clayed it and the damn car looked brand spankin new.
