I am looking for a recommendations in the DMV area. I am located in Arlington and can not find any car washes / detailers that seem legit. I prefer Touchless washes since my car is black, and would rather not get a full detail until spring, but at this point I'm open to any ideas / recommendations. Willing to drive 25-30 mins if there is a Touchless option anyone knows of. Also open to regular washes if someone can vouch that it didn't ruin their paint.

Thanks!

It seems Flagship is taking over/revamping a number of the car washes in the area. I don't use them but my non-OCD neighbors are happy! Use at your own risk.

Darryl Nichols at Odds & Ends Detailing in Sterling does great work. He's holding a clinic for the local BMW chapter in late March.

This new BrightWash center recently opened in Leesburg/Ashburn - fancy!

Went to the flagship carwash website and they're just like any other commercial drive through car wash it looks like. I'd find someone who is a mobile detailer to come to the house and hand wash the vehicle every so often.

championwash . com in Tysons, washes by hand
but people online reported them close. I just tried to call them with no answer.

The mall also has hand free car wash Valet Spa - Tysons Corner Center

I normally just take my car through a brushless car wash.
I use to use this place a lot Sunoco Car Wash 2212 Gallows Rd, Fairfax, VA 22031

While the brushless is nice you're not going to be very very clean, but it gets the job done for the winter.

If it's because it's too cold outside for you to wash another option is optimum no rinse wash if you have a garage to wash in. What I do is fill the bucket with warm water and use this method to wash in the garage.
