washing cars in the east bay

I'm trying to find a good place where I can wash my car in the east bay. I have a tight a** garage with a crooked, sloped driveway and no accessible hose, which pretty much rules it out as a washing spot. And I'm not about to let a the gang wash fellas at the car wash get their dirty mitts and shop towels on my new black S4 Avant (I know, it's no Porsche, but hey).

Any suggestions? It seems I'm limited to a coin-wash bay, but I'd have to take my own bucket(s) and gear, and I need to take my time, so I don't know how that will fly. Any input is appreciated.

try a waterless car wash, if you take care of your microfibers and change sides frequently, no scratches, even on black paint.

Walnut Creek Car Wash in Walnut Creek. They do a great job, lots of highend exotics roll through. Cheap price as well.

Do you have any links describing this method? I'm not familiar with it. Thanks.

Thanks, I'll try them once my back gives out washing it myself.

This is where I take my car and have been very pleased with the results. Lots of good scenery.
