PDQ LaserWash 360+ · Albion, MI
Touchless Automatic Car Wash in Albion
Stay in your seat and let the all-new PDQ LaserWash 360+ at Wildcat AutoWash do the work. No brushes, no cloth, and no scrubbing by hand, just a hands-off clean at our location on N Eaton St, with four wash packages to choose from.
What is a touchless automatic car wash? It is an automatic wash that cleans with sprayed-on detergents and high-pressure water instead of brushes or cloth, so nothing but water and cleaning solution touches your paint. At Wildcat AutoWash, packages run from $8 to $14.
Touch-free, explained
What makes a car wash touchless, and how it gets your car clean
A soft-touch wash relies on spinning cloth or foam to scrub the surface. A touchless wash takes a different route. It uses chemistry to loosen dirt and water pressure to carry it away, so the machine never needs to make physical contact with your vehicle. In the Wildcat packages, that work happens in stages like these:
LOOSEN
Pre-soak and prep
A Two-Step Foamy Pre-Soak or Bug Prep goes on first to start breaking down road film and bug residue.
CLEAN
Foam and flush
Triple Foam coats the surface, and an Underbody Flush sprays the underside of the vehicle.
PROTECT
Sealant and coat
Higher packages add High-Pressure Sealant, Car Guard Super Sealant, or a Carnauba Coat.
FINISH
Rinse and dry
A High-Pressure or Spot-Free Rinse clears the soap, followed by a Dry or Extra Dry.
Which stages you get depends on the package you choose. The full breakdown is in the comparison table below.
The equipment
Meet the PDQ LaserWash 360+ touchless automatic bay
To better serve Albion, Wildcat AutoWash made a significant investment in new equipment, and the centerpiece is an all-new PDQ LaserWash 360+ touchless automatic bay.
A hands-off precision clean, sitting right next to our upgraded high-pressure self-service bays.
That pairing is what makes Wildcat different from a single-option wash. When you want the machine to handle everything, use the touchless automatic. When you want to do it yourself, the self-service car wash bays are right there.

Touchless vs other methods
Touchless, soft-touch, or a self-serve bay?
Each wash method has trade-offs. Wildcat AutoWash offers touchless automatic and self-service washing. We do not operate a soft-touch wash, but it is included here so you can compare.
| Feature | Touchless automatic | Soft-touch automatic | Self-service bay |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it cleans | Detergents and high-pressure water, no contact | Cloth or foam brushes scrub the surface | You use the high-pressure wand and foaming brush |
| Contact with paint | Only water and cleaning solution | Brush or cloth contact | Your choice |
| Strong point | Hands-off and no brushes touching the finish | Friction can lift heavily bonded grime | Full control over where you focus |
| Keep in mind | Very caked-on dirt may need extra attention | Worn or dirty brushes can leave fine marks | Takes your own time and effort |
| At Wildcat | Yes, $8 to $14 | Not offered | Yes, from $2.50 |
Is it right for you?
Drivers who get the most from a touchless automatic wash
- People who would rather stay in the car than wash by hand
- Owners who prefer that no brushes or cloth touch their finish
- Anyone who wants the underside rinsed, since every package includes an Underbody Flush
- Drivers who want a set package with sealant or wax instead of choosing steps on a timer
- Anyone short on time who still wants a thorough, consistent wash
When the self-service bay may be the better call
If one area of your vehicle needs heavy, focused scrubbing, like lower panels packed with mud, the hands-on control of a self-service bay can help. You can work the foaming brush and wand exactly where it is needed, and pay by time starting at $2.50 with coins or $3.50 with Tap-to-Pay.

FAQ
Touchless car wash questions, answered
What is a touchless automatic car wash?
A touchless automatic car wash cleans your vehicle with sprayed-on detergents and high-pressure water instead of brushes or cloth. Nothing but water and cleaning solution makes contact with the paint. At Wildcat AutoWash, this is done by the PDQ LaserWash 360+.
How much is the touchless car wash at Wildcat AutoWash?
There are four packages: JV Wash $8, Varsity Wash $10, All-Star Wash $12, and Champion Wash $14.
Which packages include an underbody flush?
All four, from the $8 JV Wash to the $14 Champion Wash.
What is the difference between touchless and soft-touch car washes?
A soft-touch wash uses cloth or foam that physically scrubs the vehicle. A touchless wash relies only on detergents and high-pressure water. Touchless avoids brush contact with your paint, while soft-touch friction can remove heavily bonded grime more easily.
Which package includes a wax coat?
The Champion Wash ($14) includes a Carnauba Coat, along with Car Guard Super Sealant, Underbody Flush, Bug Prep, Triple Foam, and Extra Dry.
Can I wash my car myself instead?
Yes. Wildcat AutoWash also has self-service bays with adjustable high-pressure wands and foaming brushes, starting at $2.50 with coins or $3.50 with Tap-to-Pay. See our car wash services.
