Touch Free car wash in Charlotte, North Carolina?

This goes out to the ladies and gents in Charlotte area, is there a touch free/less car wash in the Charlotte area, specifically close to the South Tryon area?

The closest I found was in Tega Cay and thats still about a 15-20 min drive for me.

There's a Scrub and Scoot touchless on South Polk (South Blvd south of Pineville Matthews) near Carolina Place Mall. Not sure if it's any closer for you.

Touchless uses some harsh petroleum and paint by-products to chemically clean the car. A hand job is best................................lol.

Agreed, the DIY is best...LOL
...but if you are still on the lookout, there is one of those wash it yourself deals setup on the corner of Monroe and Wendover.

I usually hit a touch-less one at a gas station on Albemarle Road near Harrisburg that is a drive thru. I pick the mid grade as it does not include a clear coat. I learned the hard way on a prior white vehicle that kept looking dingier and dingier that the touch free stations only clean it 50% and the remaining dirt gets locked into the clear-coat...then you get the joy of having to buff / compound it out.
Just my $0.02.
