Drive-through touchless car wash in Edmonton?

[ak77]

So, as the title says, looking for a good quality touchless car wash in edmonton. Give up your honey spots! Hoping for something others than Esso/Shell/Crappy Tire.
In turn i can highly recommend the wand wash in Collingwood - Sparkle Express

What end of town are you interested in. There are very few touchless that are really good at getting bugs and mud off, which is why I have gone to using the wand wash almost exclusively. CTS has an undercarriage wash to get the mud off from back roads.

CTS Truck Wash
11959 167 Street Edmonton, Alberta
OR 102 Joblin Street Hinton, Alberta (780) 455-4193

For touchless, the ones in Mr Bubbles are usually better than the gas stations but more money too.


If you want someone to wash it for you I hear these guys are good but never used them myself. They also have a special rack designed to clean you undercarriage and will do just that if it is all you want done.

Depending on what kind of vehicle you own- or wanting to wash, unless it’s a beater or a work truck, I would personally avoid those places! They are using pretty harsh chemicals to cut thru the dirt and those chemicals will strip any protective coating(like wax, sealants etc) off your car. I only use self washed car washes. The one in Callingwood is good, the one on the 107 Ave just off the Mayfield road, called Zee something, is good too. The one I like the most is located on the 156 street, just before 111 Ave in a shopping center, kinda hidden inside it. They have the best pressure and there are never line ups to get in.

There is a Husky near my place 170th and 69th Ave/Wolf Willow that has a wash that does a nice job. Touchless. 7ft clearance.

This is true. I just went through this. I was having my Expel coating (3M) coming off the wife’s new suburban and the owner of JR’s that installed it is now giving me warranty on it. He said I bet you are using a touch less car wash. Apparently they use extremely hot water which melts the adhesive allowing it to lift or bubble. I wish he had told me that at the install; it would’ve saved both of us some hassle. Wand washing only for me now.

I also will be using yours or EZMs same wand wash as I live in the same area.

That’s not only a water being too hot issue. They are using a very strong detergent(soap) that washes away any carnuba wax or any polymer protective coating that you apply on top of your vehicle paint to protect it.

Sorry I guess I didn’t reply as clearly as I thought. I meant the chemicals in addition to the extremely hot water. You are correct though.

I’ve been known to enjoy a beer or two. I’d gladly attend the west end AO beer-tasters association.

Ok west end boys, say when and where!

I always used to use Zees however lately I also have noticed that the times have been cut back and it isn’t what it used to be so I am also searching for something new. I don’t mean to hijack the thread but I was wondering out of all of the washes that were recommended above do you guys know if any of them have the spray foam pre wash soap? Thanks in advance and good luck finding somewhere nice.

I haven't used many of washes mentioned above, but i would vouch for Sparkle in Collingwood. Not sure about specifically spray foam prewash soap, but my truck likes it
