We worked on every Club Car Wash in the Wichita and Oklahoma City area (there are a bunch of them).  I bought a membership once we had the first one up and running.  They are great and seem to do a better job than any of the others in the area.

$20 for a car wash is too much but $30 for unlimited car washes (that I use once a month) is right up my ally

Does anyone actually return those Club Car Wash microfiber towels when you're done using them?  I have enough of those things out in my garage to make a bedspread and matching curtains.

Yup. Between March-October it’s hit the car wash every Friday at lunch & do a quick vacuum.

I live in the middle of love big country. I wash my car 2-3 times a week during the season. Well worth the $30 a month.

I have a carwash membership and I think I'm an addict. I go every day the temperature outside is over 25 degrees. I can't wait until it warms up so I can use the free vacuum and cleaning spays and towels.

The farther north you live, the better for your car it is, with all the road treatments.  Just for fun, get on Facebook marketplace and search for pickup trucks in the Walker, MN area under $15K....I challenge you to find one without rust!  :lol:

At the Leawood Waterway the car wash dudes will open the doors and give those a good wipe down.

I don't wash my car nearly as much as you guys. But I do get a good feeling every time I do wash it. Maybe I should wash it more.

There is a touchless one in Wichita called zips, that has a few locations, but it isn’t as cool or hip as Charlie’s or Club Car Wash or Tommy’s. I’m a member of both Charlie’s and Club Car Wash. Both are a wonderful experience, but Charlie’s has the edge on the free tire shine. I go as much as possible.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

What Zips is brushless? None of these conveyor style carwashes are touchless.

Nice. My car isn't supposed to go through non touchless. I know people do it, but i'm a rule follower. I normally just hit the wonder wand place next to Joes and dry myself. I actually like doing it in the summer, but winter sucks ass.

Can you set them to stay down when you go to the car wash? Our Expedition has a setting to have them permanently stay down.

Im prob wrong. I thought I remembered it being a big machine that just sprayed water.

Looks like I’ve slept on the No-touch king. Wash ICT looks legit.

There are definitely conveyor style carwashes that are touchless and they are infuriating because they don't clean worth a damn. Before Ames built a real carwash, I had to go to Des Moines to actually get my white SUV clean.
