Any good (SAFE!) car washes near St. Paul (Woodbury), MN?
I'm looking for recommendations for how to keep my S4 clean in winter without any incurring any car wash damage? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you are only interested in automated washes then I have no suggestion...
Even with most touchless washes you have to worry about the wheel guides and the detergent used. In order to ensure they get a car clean they use aggressive detergents that not only strip any wax or polish you have but are also hard on the clear coat. Also, you need to know if they recirculate the water or not and if they do, how well they filter it.
The only suggestion I would make is to frequently use a wash facility with a stall that has a high pressure rinse system. You can use low pressure to clean off the heavy debris and use the high pressure rinse (from a good distance) to get most of the rest.
Then maybe you can find a local detailer to do a monthly wash. Make sure they use clean 100% cotton towels and wash mitts each time and you should be OK.
