when I lived in wentzville, I used to take my car to an automated car was that didn't use the rail, you pull in, then it tells you to stop, then a laser-guided arm goes around the car and washes it, never had any problems because it was a brushless wash, the arm would pre-wash the car, then spray it with soap, then repeat, and it didn't get too close to the car either. The basic was only $5 too.

I wouldn't use any of them personally. A "touchless" car wash does not use a direct-contact cleaning method, but instead uses acid-based chemicals and high pressure water which in the long run can damage the paint on the car. Many of these places recycle the water thru a filter (to save money). If the filter is clogged/dirty, you could be pressure washing your car with abrasives.

I just use it when i need to get my car sprayed off quickly and i don't have time to do it myself.
