Good car wash in the Holly Springs/Apex area (paint, cheaper)

[Tony Stark]

I'm looking for one of those express car washes where you just drive through and it gets washed and blow dried and then you drive off. Preferably I'm trying to find a "touchless" car wash where there are no brushes because I've heard that at some of the cheaper ones they can scratch up your paint pretty good. I saw one called Express Car Wash in Apex it looks pretty new and they have free vacuums as well. Anyone been there?

Yes, but. . . . . .

My understanding is that they use fairly strong cleaners to get the dirt and grime off (no brushes to assist with that) so you have a good chance that any paint protectors that you've applied (e.g., car wax) will also be stripped off.

Now. . . some will say that modern paint jobs with clearcoats are made to withstand the elements without wax. . . . .

I'm not an expert on car washes or car paint jobs, so hopefully someone else will offer better advice.

I go out of my way sometime to take my car to Scruffy Duck. They always do a great job. Bunkeys is just okay.
