Car wash recommendation in Toronto

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good car wash in Toronto?
Other than the touchless wash at ESSO.

Ideally I'm looking for a car washing bay where I can wash the car myself with my own gear.

I knew P3 Car Care at Manulife center, which wash a lot of luxury cars but they are full service and don't rent out the bay.

Can anyone recommend a good place near downtown?

Thanks

just me, I would never, ever bring my car to any car washes, no matter touchless or not.

Either coin wash in the winter time (goal is to get the salt off) or wash it myself. Luckily, my office building has a dedicated wash stall that I can wash my car there during winter months.

I don't know in Toronto but I usually wash my car at the Honda dealership next to my house.

I wash the car myself, but I use their water and soap and then I dry it out and polish it there. It costs me $4 only. I do it every week.

I am sure that if that dealership does it, so do many others. Anyway, just a suggestion.

I agree. I want to wash it myself with my own equipments. Only asking because I live in condos and can't do it myself in the underground parking, or at someone's drive way.

So are there any coin wash bays that I can go and just use the space?

I use the coin wash bay at Bathurst/Dupont - it's very rarely busy, and they have 6 bays. I'll also one by Bathurst and the 401, but I'll find there usually a lineup here if you go at a busy time.

If you're in a condo... I'd recommend using optimum no rinse (ONR).
All you need is a bucket, microfibre washing cloth, and a drying towel.

It's underground. No freezing my butt washing my car in winter months. But I still use coin wash once a month so I can blast away any salt accumulated.

My office is located mid town, near Yorkdale Mall.
