Good place in Cambridge area for a winter wash?

Title says it all

May want to check out the car wash place inside the basement garage of the Galleria. I've taken my cars there before, not my M, and they do a pretty good job. They always have a bunch of high end cars getting washed there as well.

Will check it out - thanks! You wash yourself?

Yeah, hand wash only and it's stored away for winter so I don't have to worry about it these days. Let me know what you think if you go. There's also a touchless wash in Somerville that I've been through with my buddies and it does as good as you would expect, surface clean only.

I've been taking to Somerville Car Wash, and they do everything by hand... Not perfect, but ok... Looking to try something else.

I usually go to a DIY booth and spray it down when it's above 35 degrees. The brushes from any of the drive-thru washes will scratch your car, and the touchless just scares me, especially if you are low, care about your wheels, or have any added exterior parts.

I usually rinse the car down myself. I try to do it once a week in the winter. There is a touchless wash in Wakefield that isn't that bad, it's not great either. If it greats the salt and grime off the car I'm happy, but it will never compete with a hand wash.

Don't have access to a hose, and don't really have time even if I did... Would obviously be ideal.

That touchless wash, has two bays where you can wash it yourself. So if you want to give it a quick rinse it's an option.

the touch less in my town leaves the black trim around widows miss colored somewhat oily residue left over. Any one else have this experience or is it just this particular car wash? Always feel the urge to hand wash right after haha

Wakefield is a little far for me...
