Where are the self-serve car washes in MKE?

Ok.  So it's not strictly BMW specific, but I want to find a place to do a quick wash on my convertible from time to time.

 

I can't seem to find any of the coin-op hose wash stall thingies in the Milwaukee area.

 

Any pointers?  Google gives me nothing.

I know where there are a few, as I have been all over Milwaukee my entire life.It is really annoying that you cant just do a search and I have to make a mental note of each. I goggled some APPROXIMATE addresses for you guys, but don't hold me to them if they are closed. We should try and make a map, it would make my life easier as a vert owner :(

They are all over in the West Bend/ Kewaskum area. Not sure why Milwaukee doesn't offer them. Probably because people would be washing their children there...

That would cost them money Earl and that is unacceptable... Besides, the Milwaukee river is there!

Or they can wait till it rains...or the classic fire hydrant "spill"

All jokes aside, it's not their fault our state lags in job creation compared to the national average, and save the "but they are too lazy too look" rebuttal, everybody is hungry for something.

Back on topic, I might have seen one on my way to Lowes (Franklin location)

Ok.  As my contribution to this little community, I'll setup an online map that all can contribute to.

I'll start with with the locations described above and add them as I confirm them (gives me a destination while I'm testing the car after I work on it).

Once it's setup, I'll post the link here.

OK.   Because I'm lazy, I just used google's Map Engine.

 

Here's the link to view the map.  There's nothing on it yet...

If you want to add stuff to the map, you need to be added to the list of editors -- just send me an email, and I'll add you to the list of editors.

 

I'm assuming I should start a new thread with instructions on how to use the map, and what info people want on it?
