    Before you all cringe, let me first say that I live in an apartment so I use the self-serve coin washes simply for the water (I bring my bucket and soap).



    That being said, I`ve driven all over Northern Virginia and I cannot find one! The manual coin washes at the gas stations force you to go through their wash cycle. So I`m looking for the garage-style coin-operated car washes. Does anyone know where one is, preferrably inside the beltway?



    Thanks!

    I`ve tried every online yellow pages and search engine I can think of. Since they`re not really a manned store/service, I don`t really expect to find them in the yellow pages. Heck, half the time they don`t even have a name.

    I`d seriously give ONR a try - I cant wait to use it in the winter since you can fill the bucket with warm water to keep your hands warm. I think my neighbors think i`m OCD since i clean the car with onr twice a week. HOA friendly.

    There are a few out in Leesburg, as well as some in Sterling. You need to ask around, there are here, just hidden. Its just the NOVA thing to hide businesses. Try to find a gas station in Reston! That can be fun! Its like Where`s Waldo.
