Default Esso car wash with no rails in Etob/Miss?

I've read that some Esso carwashes have rails and others don't. Can anyone recommend an Esso location that doesn't have the rails in Etobicoke/Mississauga.

Thank you

I was recommended a great place on Mavis called Denny's but they can't cater to all lowered cars. The owner said he would have to look at it before it goes in.

The Shell Burnhamthorpe at Dixie is touchless and has no rails. Had my 928 in there last Friday for her final wash of the season.

I have used that one as well. Usually a line to get in, but it does a fairly good job.

I thought the general concensus on RL was to use Optimum No Rinse for winter washings.....

(My Boxster is covered up for the winter.....)

i am not a fan of touchless carwarshes, very harsh chemicals used to get the dirt off and not touch your car . I imagine it would strip your expensive wax right off.

I didn't know the touchless uses such harsh chemicals. I could grab a bunch of stuff off of www.eshine.ca and do it the old fashion way. How do you guys give the bottom a good rinse without having the car on a hoist?
