Good DC area car wash?

I know it is not good to use drive thru car wash's but during the winter in DC it is almost impossible to keep your car clean regularly. I don't have a garage so I can't wash it inside. And I have a noah car cover but I really don"t want to put it on when the car is dirty and can't wash my car by hand every time I want to use the cover, I do have to make some time for work.

Can anyone recommend a good drive thru car wash in the DC area? Don't beat me over the head to bad for wanting to take my car to a drive thru, but a good wash in 15min or less would be a beautiful thing this time of year.

Thanks

I have never tried the one on New Hampshire, I may have to give it a try. I used to go to the one on GA & Missouri but I find them rather crappy now. Have you ever used the Laserwash place in college park? I found that on line last night when looking for a touchless car washes. I was going to go by and see what it was like after work today.

Thanks

Another question?

Should I use my Noah car cover in frezzing rain or snow? This is forecast for tonight/tomorrow and I was thinking I should get my car washed today and then put the cover on it. This is the main reason I got this but not sure this is the best usage for it. Any thoughts? Anyone else using this cover in bad weather?

you will be very happy with the one on N.H. Ave they don't rush. Of course you can do a better job but they do in 25 min what it takes at least 6 to 8 hours for me to do inside and out

Yeah I'm gonna use mine tonight I think. I just hate putting it on a dirty car. Guess I'll get her washed after work or wait until crappy weather passes tomorrow and wash it afterwards.

So you had no problem or worries with freezing? Mine actually had some ice on it after the little show and rain we got last week and when I went to take it off Monday I noticed it was still frozen so I did not attempt to take it off.
