car washes in Chicago

Does anyone know of any touchless automatic car washes in Chicago—like the kind that just spray your car and don't have brushes? I've been taking my (new) car to a hand wash place, but that's too expensive and the wait is too long. The automatic car washes which use brushes can scratch your paint. For the life of me, I can't find a cheap touchless car wash. If anyone knows of any, please tell me.

Btw, notice that I said in CHICAGO. I don't have time to go on any cross-country treks to Naperville or Schaumburg, or wherever.

I only noticed BP's and certain Shells with touchless. I am not sure about any other places. If I see one I will let you know.

I think that I found that thread, but it didn't really have the information that I was looking for. I'm looking specifically for the touchless car washes that they have at some gas stations—quick and cheap.

I think the best way is to, um, look? You'd be suprised how easy it is. Seeing that Chicago is such a big city, you could also be more specific where you live.

Well, the south loop BP recently converted their touchless car wash to a brush wash, so I can't go there. It looks like the closest touchless wash is at the BP down by Hyde Park. That sucks. There aren't a lot of gas stations downtown.

delta sonic or any of the other soft cloth automatic washes work very nicely. Been using one of them for years and never had a complaint. They'll do the interior too for an extra charge, usually the total bill is about 15$ for both.

Why not just look in the phone book. Chances are that if it has "touchless" somewhere in the name, it will be.
