Good car wash locations.

I won't ever use a "no-touch" again, they just don't clean well at all. It doesn't matter if it uses enough pressure to take off paint, they just don't clean well. I use several soft cloth washes, my favorite is right by my house at the Noble Mobil, corner of Noble and 610 in BP, I buy them in packs of 20, great price, very good wash. My other favorite is the gas station on the corner of 169 and I think 36th in Plymouth. It's the same exit as Caribou Coffee. When I'm spending the big bucks and need close to my shop, I go to Mermaid on Louisiana and 394. Full service there and they do a decent job on vacuuming and windows for about $14.

The Regal car wash in Crystal is pretty decent, it used to be called The Octopus but they changed names a few years back. It's right off of Douglas Drive, just south a few blocks of Bass Lake Road. They offer touchless car washes as well as soft brush washes. For 13 bucks you can get a pretty good soft brush wash, full vacuum, and they clean your dash and windows too.

This is the Shell gas station on 36th Ave and Hwy 169 in New Hope (other side of 169 is Plymouth). This place does a good job washing but their dryers aren't the greatest. I believe Double D's on CR9/Rockford Road and Hwy 169 closed up shop which is too bad b/c their wash was great and they hand dried.

There is a Mister Carwash just west of 169 on Hwy 55 where you could get the unlimited wash deal. There is also one in Eden Prairie and a few others scattered throughout the Cities.
