Default Hot Water Car Wash Stations

Looking for a car wash station, preferably in the northwest side of Columbus, that sprays hots water since it's winter here. I need to clean my S2000 and don't want to spray cold water on and especially underneath the car when the temperature outside would cause it to slush and freeze. I need to clean off all this salt.

Thanks

BJ

I do know of one, located on Morse and Indianola close to old Worthington. $1.25 I think.

With the temperatures like they are hot water isn't going to help. It will take just a little longer to freeze than the cold water. What you really need is to then dry the under carriage.

The thought of having to deal with all the salt on the road stops me from driving my S2000.

Get a beater and then park the S. Then you don't have to worry about cleaning the underside. I hate just driving the S in the rain. It takes me hours to get the suspension clean.

Bethel Road Car Wash (right behind Passen Motorsports).

Or as Popeye said, my place is another alternative on most weekends. Just give me a call.
Thanks. I'm going to try the Bethel Car wash. I couldn't remember if it had hot water.

The Morse Road Car wash definately is a good one. Love going there because they have so many ports to use.
