What is the difference between Touchless and Soft-Touch?

Our Touch-Free washes are an innovative system that washes your car without any brushes but use strategically positioned high-pressure nozzles on the spray arch to clean even the hardest of places. Our Soft-Touch wash uses full-body detergent coverage through high-pressure water and simplified soft brushes that provide consistent cleaning with minimal contact.

Are you open during bad weather?

Weather Permitting County Fair Car wash is open 24/7/365 as long as the temperature stays above 10 degrees Fahrenheit in the Soft Touch Bay and above 17 degrees in the two touch-less bays. All concrete pads are heated including the floors of each bay and the entrance and exist pads to prevent ground ice formation. Also barring any unscheduled break downs and other weather conditions.
