DIY Car Wash Joint in North SJ/Sunnyvale??

Had the damn thing for a little over a week and it's a freakin dust bucket.

Anyone know of a good BYOS (bring your own soap) DIY car wash joint in the North San Jose / Milpenis / Sunnyvale area??

I've never used one of these, but I'd rather do it this way than take it to some ghetto chevron scratch my new paint kinda place. eep!

Any thoughts/ideas?

Home = an apartment building which does not have any hose or car washing facility.

There is one on winchester ave. imbetween campbell ave. and San Tomas exp. Technically it's in campbell, but that should be pretty close to where your at?

I've only been there once, and I messed up with those stupid coin machines. It ended up costing me $9 to wash my own car! Be sure to read the instructions, cause I didn't

If you are lookin for a quick wash - there is actually a chevron "touchless" drive thru wash with spray bars and nothing actually touches your car. It's good for the dust and stuff, but not really good if your car is really dirty. I've got an 05 wagon and I'm pretty **** about that. The Chevron is on the Sunnyvale/Cupertino border. Cross streets are Homestead and De Anza (near 280).

Wow, I had no idea that was a "touchless" one... always been too paranoid to think of that as an option... Awesome
