Salt ladden X

[developmentallychallenged]

does anyone know of a do-to-yourself carwash in the North suburbs of Chicago. It's been so snowy out here and my new X is covered in salt..I just want to blast it all off with a hose but it's too cold for a full handwash. I figure that somewhere with a pressure wand would be the lesser of two evils. What do you snow bound X'ers do to keep you ride clean when it's salty?

Hey, you're not too far away. I'm in Long Grove. I know there's a couple places in Palatine. I'm almost positive, it's Rand and 53. It's seriously insane how much salt they throw on the road even when we don't get much snow. Btw, if you go to Knauz expect their service dept to break something. They're not jackass's, they're just incompetent.

Ah, just the person we needed to hear from! Thanks Vin!
I believe you are correct about Rand and 53

Fields BMW, right off Edens there will wash it as well.

There is a good hand wash off Green Bay near Evanston.
