Dantay Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 just wondering if we can start a register of good/bad car washes in brissy. i recently went to a certain one on the north side and it was just crap it missed large parts of the bonnet and side skit. i wont mention any names i just wanted to run the idea parts the mod's/admin's incase they are worried about defemation and all that jizz. i love having a shinny car but i don't have the $$$ or time to drive around trying to find a good installation. what do you guys think?

Dantay Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 i used the automated one at Aspley (opp KFC). i was in a hurry to get to the JBT concert so i didn't check the job just gave it a quick dry. it was cheap, $8 which is their so called "ultra" deal. my advice, don't use it. is it worth updating the first post maybe doing a quick ref table?

Staffo Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Having worked for carlovers for a number of years it depends on the system they having operating in their automatic washes. I've seen several system at the site I worked at over time and can say some were fantastic some shit house. Alot of it is trial and error. I have never had any problems with brushless systems eating clearcoat thats a bit strange. Sites maintain and monitor their systems helps to improve the quality of the wash. My tip is if you are using the automatic system wash your wheels first because all of them suck balls at washing wheels lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/181187-car-wash-register/#findComment-3294073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
