I was toying with self washes as a business idea but I feel alot of people are lazy and lease their cars in the tri state area so they just take it to the automated car wash places.Yup it's a self wash. It's at 166-15 Horace Harding Expwy. Conveniently located at Exit# 20 off of the L.I.E. It's $5 for the token (pay at window, cash or card). 1 token gets you 8 minutes of washtime & trust me that's more than enough. They have 2 self wash stations so if there is a line it moves fast. There's a bunch scattered around Queens...not sure about the other boroughs. If you use it, I recommend you bring your own wash mitt or auto sponge to spread the soap on your car. The brush they provide with their machine is rough in my opinion and swirls paint & people use it on their rims & that adds a lot of sediments and dirt you don't want anywhere near on the paint of your car. I only use the brush on my Maxima as it's been to hell & back and beat to **** but for my Challenger I use a soft plush Adam's Polishes wool mitt.
I take my beater to the automated washes and dudes use the same brush they clean the wheels with to clean the paint
